AD & AD: Katherine Ariel 'Kate' & Philippa Hero 'Pippa' [12]
AS: Elihu Mal'akhi 'Eli' [11]
AS: Dominik Martin 'Nik' [9]
AS: Phinehas Arieh 'Finn' [6]Len and Evie adopted young Dominik from Pennsylvania, his former family couldn't deal with his insulin pump and the upkeep it needed, so he had to be removed.
He is having trouble adjusting to having so many new siblings, and doesn't get along with any of them currently, preferring to spend time in his room under the guise of doing homework or talking to some of his old friends. Len and Evie are doing their best do draw him out, but so far are having little success. They are considering signing him up for acting classes, because they hope that that will help.Xander and Celia are married now, and live in a small house nearby. They both work as teachers at a high school, and often visit the Sommerhoff children on the weekends.Orson ended up moving downstairs into Xander's old room once he moved out, and he loves having his own space. He still hangs out with Pippa and Eli, but much less than he used to now that he's in high school.
He and Kate still do homework together, and he has kept up with baseball.Kate is the best in her class, and still often helps younger kids in her free time. She still sketches sometimes, to relieve stress, and tries to do so outside whenever possible to get sunshine.
Pippa mainly plays forward on her soccer team, and she loves going out after games with her team. She tries to get Kate to come along, but her twin doesn't always agree.Eli is close with the both the twins, though for vastly different reasons. He respects the space that Kate [and Orson] need, and hangs out with Pippa or Finn when he wants to. He generally pitches in baseball, but is comfortable in most positions.
Finn loves his new older brother Nik, often trying to invade his space until he gets angry and tricks him into leaving. He is doing alright in school, and Kate helps him if he has trouble in math, or science.The Sommerhoffs who are interested still attend the synagogue on Saturdays - Orson, and Pippa usually stay home - and Kate in particular finds herself very interested in Judaism.
