That summer, Cortney's family adopted a little three-year-old boy. His name was Michael Scott O'Donnell. Her other little brother Tristen was happy to have another boy in the family. Michael had dark brown eyes and light thin blonde hair. He was super shy for the first week. Now he is a very happy little toddler. Over the summer Cortney went to the camp again. She bonded more with the people from last year. She worked on landing her arial, didn't want to break a bone-like last time.

*****************

" De'lexi comes today! " Cortney said excitedly. 

" It's about time I get to meet one of your friends from school," Erin said exhausted. Her twin sisters Erin and Sara just came in from volleyball practice.

" Yeah, I mean it is in flesh and blood too," Sara added. At moment the doorbell rang. 

" Cortney baby girl, your friend De'lexi is here! " Her dad shouted.

*******

So De'lexi and Cortney did hang out over the summer. De'lexi stayed there for about a week. De'lexi absolutely loved her family.

Now onto the letters.
