Meet the Kids!!!
These are our beautiful children! Read about each one.
Kassy
Kassy is my oldest daughter and a great help to our family. Her brothers and sister love any attention she can give to them. She is very organized, responsible and industrious. I can't believe she is in 9th grade this year. We started homeschooling last year and joined a group called Classical Conversations. It was quite challenging for her but she worked very hard and learned quite a bit. I know she surprised herself. She has been playing the piano for 9 years now and enjoys it very much. Gardening, scrapbooking, shopping, and hanging out with friends are some of her favorite things to do.
Beza
Beza is one of our newest additions to the family. She is 8 years old, and happy, playful and full of life. She is a very bright, responsible girl who loves to ride her bike and swim. She's a little fish!! It's surprising to see how much Kassy and Beza have in common. Even though they have lived in such different parts of the world, they act as if they have been sisters forever. They share many of the same character traits both being first born girls. Aaron and Beza have become very good friends and playmates. They have a wonderful time using their imaginations as they play together. Of course, she loves little Natti and still "mothers" him a bit occasionally. We thank God for how He has created these special realationships. Painting, drawing and learning to read and play piano occupy her days.
Aaron
Aaron is 7 years old. He is pretty easy going like his dad most of the time. Making his sisters and brother laugh motivates him quite often. He enjoys riding his bike, skateboarding, swimming and playing outside. Legos, army men, and anything that can become a gun or sword are some of his favorite toys. He plays soccer and enjoys it. One of his favorite activies is throwing the football and playing baseball with his dad. He is such a joy to our family.
Natti
At 22 months old, Natti is quickly approaching 2 years old. He is the baby of the family and we all love him dearly. He was recently adopted along with his sister Beza this past February from Ethiopia. He is sooo cute, smiling most of the time. Helping Aaron with chores, touching everything he can get his hands on and babbling all day long, he brings much activity to our home. His favorite book is " My Big Machine Book.", a book about trucks, cars and planes. He is very friendly and lovable. Hugs and kisses are given willingly to many. Squeals of laughter and frustration, come from this little guy. Even though he doesn't speak yet, he communicates well with nods for "yes" and "no" and many other sounds. His comprehension amazes all of us. I'm sure words are just around the corner.
