Anastasia
I decided it would be a good idea to get Carl and Allison into daycare so they can get more socializing with children their ages. Stella found some who cater to people who have CPOs to protect them and the the mannies are on call, but paid the same salary. They just have to be prepared to pick Carl and Allison up in any situation.
Robert
Susan and I are getting driving lessons from our CPOs while Anastasia is getting some early college courses out of the way. I am bored to tears , so I ask where kids hang out in Seattle. David and Shelly are teaching me and Susan how to drive on a special track and they are training us how to save ourself in any emergency. We have been told to only use these maneuvers in an emergency only. We can come here if we want to, but only with Anastasias permission. At 18 you won't need it, and that won't be that long. We have been learning a lot if things in the month we have been here.
Susan
I love learning to drive and it is easy. We will be getting our licenses soon and can start driving our own cars, but we still have to have our CPOs with us. Carl and Allison have been having friends over as long as their family pass background checks. They seem to really like being around other children. Raymond is adjusting to a place that Anastasia has checked out and at first didn't care for it, but she finally allowed Raymond to go to, but he had to do as he was told by the adults in charge as long as the CPO okays it. They go in field trips and a lot of different things. The one thing he really loved is horse riding. He wanted to go gliding, but Anastasia told him he needed to wait for that. He was taught how to swim and we all are signing up to learn to swim as a family. Anastasia didn't know, but mom and dad bought a boat and we have went out on it with our CPOs. She found out when she saw the boat arrive and tie up to the dock. We have been learning how to handle the boat as well.
Raymond
Anastasia found a great place that takes us out on adventures. It also teaches us to not take for granted what we have. We do charity works as well. They want us to come out of the place well rounded as people. You can't get bored and it gives you experiences you can't get in regular school. Things we do sometimes cost a bit more. Anastasia also sponsors some underprivileged children for special activities they could never afford. A few have came over for a bbq, at first they thought we were showing off. But then they spent time with us and found out we were orphans.

We watch the kids and notice a few other children going in and out of the kitchen and then to the patio. The kids seem to really be adjusting to their life in Seattle. Anastasia has been doing a great job of raising our children. I notice she has course books on her bedside table. We got a few minutes and we have to sign off. This time we are given a written report on all their activities.
Raymond
I talk Robert and Susan into helping with a few things for the less fortunate. Like helping build a home, getting clothing and food donations for them. We also have had events to raise money for the sponsor spots. Anastasia has five spots including mine and I finally talk her into some other events. She wasn't happy about them, but she researched them and spoke to the instructors and finally allowed me to learn to fly planes and helicopters. Then skydiving was scary, but we sponsored all five of the group that day. The flying we could only sponsor three people, because they couldn't fit six in plus the pilot. I loved it and I want to take flight school. But at thirteen I can't get my pilots license. So Anastasia agreed to let me take the courses when I can get my license, but in the meantime.
Robert
I found out that Anastasia agreed to allow flying lessons and Susan and I decided we want them. Anastasia decided to join in on the fun as well. Our summer is nearly over and all three of us has taken flying lessons and are getting our licenses in flying planes. Susan and I pass the driving test.
Susan
I love Seattle now, this summer has really went fast. Anastasia has gotten closer to all of us and she has rules, but they all make sense when I start thinking that she is only protecting us. Tonight we have friends over and it is going very well. Stella has made sure we get everything done before the party. Extra staff and security have been hired.
Raymond
I am so jealous that Anastasia, Susan and Robert have their pilots license. Anastasia told me to have patience and it will happen soon enough mean time she had me find books on learning to fly for my own personal use. Carl wants to learn as well. Allison has her mind on looking pretty.
Carl
I took Raymond's book and looked at the photos and read what I could read. He found me reading it and instead of getting mad he sat down and read it with me and explained everything to me.
Allison
I like the pretty dresses Anastasia buys for me. They look pretty and I have matching things to go with them. I will be in school soon. Anastasia sometimes is given a hard time when she tries to do things for us, she has to prove her age and then she has to prove she has custody of us.
