@melia22 that is some big news! Portugal is beautiful, and Iām sure your kiddos will absolutely love it there.
@Larryisalittledog [name_m]Welcome[/name_m] to the thread, and congrats on baby #2 
@kiomkio I love your end-of-year interviews, so much that I might be stealing them for this blog post 
Our little [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] is now almost two weeks old. Time truly is flying! It feels just yesterday that we brought her home. That being said, I have plenty of updates for this post. We have a kindergarten graduate on our hands, along with two middle school graduates! [name_m]Kit[/name_m] is also done with his very first year of pre-k.
Hereās an update with each of them:
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Claudia[/name_f] [Kelly] is 14 years old, and a proud 8th grade graduate. Her favorite class was history, because she loves learning about ancient cultures. She wants to be a historian when she grows up! Immyās least favorite class was P.E., because she isnāt a fan of running the track every single day. Some of Immyās interests this year were babysitting, sewing, hanging out with her friends, and learning languages.
[name_m]Liam[/name_m] McCoy [Kelly] also happens to be 14 years old and a graduate of 8th grade! His favorite class was P.E., because unlike his twin sister, he loves sports. Liamās least favorite class was math because he found it really confusing this year. (Shout out to [name_f]Immy[/name_f] for making sure he passed!) This year [name_m]Liam[/name_m] has been into swimming, track, and music. When he grows up, [name_m]Liam[/name_m] either wants to be a professional swimmer or a social worker.
[name_f]Enya[/name_f] [name_f]Clemency[/name_f] [name_f]Dove[/name_f] is 5 whole years old, and has just finished kindergarten. She has loved her first ever year of school! Enyaās favorite class was art. She says that she loves it because āI get to play with colors and make worlds all by myself!!ā Her least favorite class was reading. [name_f]Enya[/name_f] doesnāt quite get it yet, but we know sheāll get there soon. [name_f]Enya[/name_f] has loved painting, photography, and playing make-believe this year. When sheās older, [name_f]Enya[/name_f] wants to be an artist!
[name_m]Kit[/name_m] [name_m]Lucian[/name_m] [name_m]Montgomery[/name_m] is 3 years old. Heās finished his first year of pre-k! ([name_m]God[/name_m], heās growing up too fast) There arenāt really classes at his pre-k, but his favorite part was playing in the garden. [name_m]Kit[/name_m] loved the feeling of being out in the greenery! [name_m]Kit[/name_m] said that he had no least favorite part of the year! He loved all of it. His favorite things this year were becoming a big brother, bunnies, and being read to. When heās a big kid, [name_m]Kit[/name_m] wants to be a veterinarian.
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalind[/name_f] [name_f]Faye[/name_f] is a bit too young to answer my questions. Weāll see what Leoās like when sheās older!
Now that thatās out of the way, hereās all of our other updates!
Weāre currently on vacation up at my parentsā farm in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m] State. Two of my four siblings are also here, so itās basically a big meetup for the cousins! (The only people that couldnāt come was my brother, a single father to Lucia)

[name_f]My[/name_f] parents have been the sweetest to [name_m]Liam[/name_m] and [name_f]Immy[/name_f]. Oh ā did I mention earlier that [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] and I have gotten full custody of them? It was a bittersweet moment for us. We absolutely love the twins, but we also wish that their parents were able to take care of them.

[name_f]Cleo[/name_f] [name_m]Leo[/name_m] is the most adorable thing 
she is falling in love (or falling asleep?) with the farm girl life. We still are wondering if her hair will stay light like mine and Kitās, or if itāll turn dark like [name_f]Enya[/name_f] and Niamhās. Time will tell!

One last update
We currently have one cat, [name_f]Eyre[/name_f], back at home. She is our sassy, funny, and sweet orange tabby. Well, my parentsā barn cat happened to have some kittens! Of course we couldnāt resist. The black kitten is coming back home with us! Weāve named her [name_f]Bronte[/name_f]. Our entire family just loves her, and we know that [name_f]Eyre[/name_f] will love some company too!
Sorry for the long post today! [name_f]Hope[/name_f] youāre all having a wonderful time
All of my kiddos (besides Miri) have to bring multiple toys with them.
time flys to quickly! we have had some very long, restless nights but seeing all the big kids care and love on their baby sister just makes everything worth it! we have all been calling her sissy and bee which are just adorable! hons also has so much dark hair! none of the kids have been born with as much or as dark hair! i wonder if it will stay brown like wolfies or go blonde like marls and poās!
) is doing Summer art lessons and sheās been having fun at those! Definitely our little Picasso. Her artwork is lovely.
My poor mama heart needs to calm down.
Sheās got a little brace on it, but literally nothing keeps that girl from running and jumping and being an absolute critter in the summertime. As much as she complains about the heat, she is a water bug.
