Yeah, it seems everyone's falling into it all really well. Sabrina haas her
cuddly-time in the evenings while Louie and i watch the Nanny episodes we
tape every morning. I know it's hard to imagine Fran Drescher's voice making
someone purr, but it's helped Sabrina adjust so I bear the good lady a debt
of gratitude. So Sabrina's gotten more comfortable, and now even lets the
others come into the bedroom with her, though she's cautious; Richard had
beaten all the confidence out of her, and she still doesn't quite get that we
have plenty of petting to go around. And Stosh gets his jump-on-Mama-and-
knead time--he was the first one Sabrina allowed with her on the bed without
a fight--so he feels a lot better about himself.

Roxie and Odessa are very much Daddy's girls and get most of their timne with
Louie while the news and sports are on. When louie and I are together, they
prefer to get in a high spot and watch while the Juvies like more physical
play. I don't think Richard ever really played with Sabrina; she took weeks
to get used to the idea that a Cat Dancer is something to have fun with, not
run from! Now it's her favorite way to get moving.

Sabrina still prefers the bedroom, but comes out by bits and bits. And there
are still squabbles over who goes where, but I figure that'll iron out with
time. I'm just glad all the kids cam come and have family time with us, and
that the arrangements are finally starting to work. i was worried for a
while; I hadn't realized just how scared out of her mind Sabrina was, and
still want to kick richard where it counts for screwing with her emotions the
way he did. B ut I think she's starting to recover, thank God.

Blessed be,
Baha
