Thank you, Roanoke! We changed Patrick's middle name to André for the sake of Adolph Hitler—not superstition, just precaution to elementary school, etc. Patrick is very active and loves to run around the neighborhood barefoot. He is being stubborn about learning English, but we have developed a system of rewards for him, and now he is studying it rather well. He is always happy and mischievous. He keeps us moving, at least!
We haven't done much to teach Mathis more sign language since he is so young, but my sister has helped him with the basic essentials. He is very bright and is picking it up pretty quickly. He is calmer than his brother but is always smiling. He adored our cats, Koèka and Kivi! He spends most of his day just rubbing their backs and then laughing to high heaven about their responses. Our neighbors adore him!
Andrea, or Annie as we have started calling her, is doing wonderfully as well. My sister and brother-in-law have really helped her along. What would we do without them? The same sister has recently adopted a blind girl, and my brother has a biological blind girl, so there is a lot of support. Soon we will be getting her a guide dog, but for now we are teaching her to use a cane. She is always giggling and is very mobile despite her disability.
Our new children's cousins love them! We have a lot of disabilities in our extended family, and we are a lot of help to each other. My sister's blind daughter is also deaf, so there is some help for Mathis as well. Patrick, Mathis, and Annie are so welcome in our family and we love them to death! Thank you again, Roanoke!
