Update on Our Lives [Casaubon's Book]
Since Zion’s arrival as a newborn in 2013, this blog has been quite quiet. First I wanted to give Zion the same time and resources that my other babies had. Then just as we started to get back on our feet, the flood of adding four kids to our home, including three under three (plus Zion who was 10 months at the time) took up most of our lives. As soon as things settled down, we had a difficult spring last year, and then got my foursome’s youngest brother, and then spent our fall dealing with legal matters as the children were finally freed for adoption.
The update is that my sibling group of five should be adopted in mid-March. We are tentatively planning on March 14 for adoption day (Pi day adoptions!) It has been a long, hard road for the last almost-3 years, but things are more settled now and everyone is doing extremely well. So I should have time to write. Of course, I’ve said that before. And we’re hoping to move this spring or summer. But I’m trying.
You’ve known my kids by initials for the last 3 years. I can’t post pictures until the adoption is finalized, but I can at least begin using their names (note, the initials I use do not always correspond with people’s names for reasons of privacy.)
So just to give everyone a scorecard, since everyone finds it confusing, our ten kids are as follows. (For the record, Isaiah and Asher want to be formerly known as something too, but we haven’t figured out what the should be 
)
Eli, 16 (born 2000)
Simon, 14 (born 2001)
Deniece, 13 (born 2002, arrived 2013, adopted 2016) – the moppet formerly known as “D”
Isaiah, 12 (born 2003)
Asher, 10 (born 2005)
Rimonah, 6 (born 2009, arrived 2013, adopted 2016) – the moppet formerly known as “R”
Judah, 6 (born 2009, arrived 2013, adopted 2016) – the moppet formerly known as “K”
Malkiah (“Miss Bean” “Malkie”), 4 (born 2012, arrived 2013, adopted 2016) – the moppet formerly known as “Q”
Zion, 3 (born 2012, arrived 2012, adopted 2014) – the moppet formerly known as “Z”
Hezekiah (“Kai”), 2 (born 2013, arrived 2015, adopted 2016. – The moppet formerly known as “C”
Ok, is that confusing enough?
