Nastia/Marie:

Whenever I am talking about our adopted brothers and sisters and I mention "The Devil" I am usuelly referring to Marie.She is a violent 14 year old who has been nothing but trouble ever since we got her. she is rebelious, violent, rude, disobedient, and selfish. Almost all of the kids are scared of her since she is a big strong girls too...but if yo call her big be ready for a big fight. Our family could not handle Marie so we sent her to live with a family in California. The family was a couple 35-40 years old with no children. they had plenty of money and loved Marie. They even sent her to public school like she wanted. Great huh? Not really, after 6 months(the same amount of time we had her before we broke), the

Vasia/Jared:

Jared is doing the best out of the five Russinas. He is very excited about scouts and is doing awsome in speaking english. He is more of a help than a hinderence now since he can transilate Russian to English, and vice versa. He does not have very much school, but we are graduely increasing his load as he becomes more content with home life. He makes money by picking rasberries for one of our neighbors when they are in season and helping my dad with tile occasionaly. He is also involved in 4-H. Jared spends alot of his time riding our four-wheeler which is avalible after everyone is finished with school. One note. Jared was widing the quad with Austin on the back when Jared made a sudden fast turn. Austin flew off the back and broke his arm...it is not a bad break like mine was, but the bone was broken. Jared is seldom rebelious anymore and goes to church without complaint(although this may be to the fact that the first counsilars daughter is about his age...and quite cute for a 13 yr old...) Jared is getting baptized this weekend!!

Sergei/Charlie:

Charlie is 9 years old and is, well, he is just a big baby. He wil cry and throw the biggest temper tantrums about anything. his favorite words are "NI HACHO" I don't want". the only things he really wants is Russia, Icecream, and no athorities. at night it is imposible to make him sleep and in the morning it is imposible to wake him. I am glad that he is young, he might have a chance of coming out somewhat normal. Also he is learning english quite slowly. Just a big baby!

Katya/Katy/Rachel:

Katy is the cutest of the bunch and the youngest too. She is obediant when there are not other Russians around her to influence her. Her biggest problem was that she hung out with Katia alot, but she is doing fine now. She is learning English quite a bit faster now that katya is gone. She has decided to be baptized into our church. I don't know whether I should be glad that she is, or resentful that she does not understand what she is doing. She really enjoys Mom reading her the childrens scriptures.
