Thank you! All 6 children have adjusted quickly. Clara, Scot and Rose were the first to arrive. Clara really has a beutiful voice and she is trying out for the conservatory next week. She also loves Frieda and Nicholas and Sylvia has to stop her looking after them too much and having tome for herself. Scot and Ted have formed a close friendship and love going out fishing together. Rose has enrolled in piano lessons and she is doing fine. The next children to arrive were Tessie and Shirley with Wendell. Tessie does have a lot of problems walking, but she is still a very happy child. We couldn't keep Clara from mothering her! She is beeing spoilt rotten, like the rest of the children. Shirley is very lively and immediately made friends with Frieda. Scot even tought her to write a few words because she was so eager to learn! They both miss their father/uncle but are keeping in touch.
Thornton was the last to arrive and is like a whirlwind. One minute he's here, the next he's gone! Scot is very good, calming him down (by telling him he can come fishing if he is quiet enough) and is also helping him with school work.
