Lydia -- lots of raw intelligence, fun loving, pretty good dancer, lousy athlete (or at least soccer and softball thus far).

Trixie -- less raw intelligence than her sister but very subordinate in the classroom, fearless on the stage, mostly disinterested in athletics, probably destined to wear revealing outfits on a dance team and make her father cringe.

Henry -- obviously, he's Asian so I'm expecting good math scores, excellent ping pong, and maybe an impressive violin solo. But he doesn't know a stranger and appears to be the only potential athlete of all the kids.

Lisa -- organizes all the stuff, shuttles kids around, teaches little ones when she can, cooks if she has time, and tells me where to go (she's real good at that).

Brent -- specializes in getting worn out and getting fatter.

Okay, I will divulge a secret that I've kept for many years -- John Hilkey was the best cheater on tests that I have ever seen. I never even knew he was cheating off of me in Chemistry until he would tap my foot with his. I would glance over and written on his paper would be something like -- "#7 - Are you sure?". I would shake my head yes and then I'd feel a tap on my foot two minutes later. I'd look over and the paper would say -- "Are you POSITIVE?". He did pretty well in that class, which is a roundabout way of me telling you that I did really well in that class too. :)
