    The older boys will be attending college with a little over a year. Armand has solved the empty house syndrome by adopting more boys and two girls, than ks to Marie.

    What a twist of fate. The city forced the orphanage out if the house, losing money from the State. Now they must tear the house down, at their cost. Bottom line, they ended up a loser and no property as Yale owns the land.

    I think Toby has spoken to Tommy. Although John is back at work, he still hasn't picked up where he left off. Richie has assisted Colin and I wouldn't be surprised if Richie doesn't follow in Colin's footsteps. And the family grows.

    Yes, eventually Toby will talk The student involvement in the Home, won't be as enthusiastic as Armand hoped

    Arnaud was his star pupil; and remains his star.

    That evening I told Colin that Arnaud and Jean were arriving. “When?” “Tomorrow. Roger is going to meet them.” “Good. I didn’t realize how much of a load Dad was handling. Between the business, the club and the City I am bushed when I come home. I promised the boys we would go golfing this week-end. I am hoping they would forget it, giving me one day off.” “I’ll take the boys golfing.” “You don’t know how to play.” “I’ll arrange for them to have a golf lesson. In fa

    I expect Arnaud to have a heart attack knowing he doesn't have enough money to pay for the painting. Armand was clever when he told Arnaud he would paint the picture but Arnaud must set the price. I wonder how many people would do something similar.

    I think Pat gave him a bio on several children. She has been pushing him to adopt more

    Thank you. I expect I have told to much but maybe not. Will Armand adopt Toby, GG knows that answer. I think in Toby's mind, Armand is hs father. I would bet in his fantasy, when Armand isn't there he pretends he is at work.

    I think Santa gave it away when he kissed Toby. You are right, Armand being the only child what parent wouldn't want to be closer.

    Armand's parents are more then grateful. I know if a girl is adopted, they will spoil her, especially the Fathers

    Between you and I, art students focusing on the frames rather then the painting tell me they are narrow minded and lazy. See if I am right

    I think you are right. Toby has adopted Armand. I think Arnaud may have bitten more than he realized.

    Thanks to Colin, Christmas was on schedule. Santa’s mailbox was in the foyer, stocking were hung on their dorm door. The trip to the department store in New York City was on for the Saturday morning. The older children were given 5 dollars to buy gifts, Colin gave our children 20 dollars and gave 15 dollars to the older boys in the Home. Marie, our moms and some of Mom’s girl club came along to help the young children. Lois came to tape the children who opted to sit on Santa’s lap. I watched whe

    I don't think GG communicates with him as she does with Armand and the children. But somehow she influences him that he always supports Armand. I think partners are expected to support each other.

    I think one of the children will be a surprise.

    Yes and the number will be a surprise

    The State is paying them directly. The rate hasn't changed but there is no deduction by the. city

    Chapter 141

    That evening, lying in bed, I told Colin about Mom and Dad moving into the house next to the gallery. “Makes sense. When are they moving?” “I’m not sure. Probably after the new year.” “The boys are growing up. How was Ronnie’s game?” “They lost but Ronnie scored two touch downs.” “How did he feel about losing?” “He was alright, the boys told him they should have won. If the coach had played the Bullet more, they would have won. I think Ronnie has a fan club headed by th

    For a little while. For Armand, his total family is together with his mom and dad living across the street from him.

    YOU ARE RIGHT, The coup d'etat did it. Wait until he understands that he will be involved with the boys at the Home as well.

    And definitely good enough for Armand. He is experiencing the empty family syndrome already.

    Being Barcelona has a special place as a honeymoon spot, I think they will always make a stop.

    It was and done. Because Ivan was already a ward of the guys, the judge just signed the papers. I think there wasn't and official announcement but I'm sure the boys knew and told him. In the eyes of Colin and Armand, he always was and treated as such.
