Jeremiah (15) is a busy 10th grader. He plays academy soccer, and his days are spent in KOP for both of these. He's relaxed, independent, sometimes quiet, but goofy when he's in a mood. An attentive and dedicated big brother.

Daniel (13) is a sweet, friendly boy. He has special needs with limited language skills. He goes to specialized school. He is observant, curious, into all things modes of transportation. He enjoys making random objects into windshield wipers that he carries around. And he is an easy, laidback guy that goes with the flow.

Esme (10) is our lone girl and she's sweet but tough. She loves all things pink, drawing/painting, learning and school, her stuffed animals, and playing with her friends. She can be anxious and emotional at times, but a small chat and a good hug help her to calm down. She also has developmental delays and somewhat limited language, but she's friendly, caring, and personable, and a determined girl to do the things she likes.

Sam (6) is a precocious, funny, competitive, active boy. He always wants to play outside, with friends, ride his bike, go to the playground, or explore in nature. His oldest brother is his hero and he wants to do everything that Jeremiah does. He is sweet and loving, and is particular about how he likes things.

The kids are a very bonded sibling group. They fight as siblings do, but they love each other and always want to be together. They know that they are meant to support and lookout for each other because they are a team.
