Anna and Jem, Please welcome your new daughtersChloe Rose and Isabella Grace are 4 year old identical twins. They are identical in almost every way and inseperable. They both enjoy causing mischeif and are both tomboys enjoying being outside and playing with building blocks and toy cars. Chloe and Isabella can be a handful as they are often hyper and hard to control. If seperated they will cry uncontrollably. Isabella appears to do significantly better educationally but will work at a lower lever to match Cloe's. Chloe struggles with reading and writing and has slightly delayed speech. Alex is a 3 year old girl who is a complete girly girl. She is very well behaved and prefers to play alone. She loves dolls and dressing up, as well as painting and playing outside. Alex has an imaginary friend but is reluctant to engage with other children. She sometimes acts younger than she is, loving to be mothered. She would benefit from some one-on-one time and being provided with a few scheduled activities to keep her busy and interacting with other people. Please write and let us know how your girls are settling in

-DD/DD: Chloe Rose / Isabella Grace "Belle" (4)
-DD: Alexandra Elaine "Alex" (3)Chloe, Belle, and Alex settled into our family right away, especially Alex. She was very glad to have a mommy again and very excited to have sisters. We enrolled her in ballet like Ari, which she loves. It has helped give her confidence to not need mothering as much, though we still make sure she gets some special mommy-and-daddy time. Chloe and Belle took a little longer to warm up to us, but within a few weeks we couldn't imagine them not being in our family. We have had Chloe tested and discovered that she has dyslexia. We have enrolled both girls in preschool, making an individual education plan for Chloe. Both girls are doing well. We arranged for them to be in the same class, but they are getting more comfortable as they make friends in school. They adjusted well to having older siisters, and have taken to the family pastime of swimming. We have enrolled both girls in T-ball, which they both enjoy. We feel so lucky to have these wonderful girls in our family.
