The Kings seem to be wildly successful. Everyone pitches in. There are daily and weekly chores. The older kids help the younger ones when it comes to putting their coats on or getting ready for church. The family gets considerable help and support from their church family.
Friends watch the kids in a pinch, others provide special tutoring.
One church group takes care of the family's sewing needs. Language has been a challenge, particularly with the newest quartet of Kings, but the girls are progressing nicely with their English while preserving their Russian. The Kings want them to remain bilingual and to ensure that the girls' school lessons include Russian language studies. Meg teaches all of the kids in a downstairs room that has been transformed into a classroom with school desks and other traditional school trappings. They tried public school with the first few kids, but logistics alone proved to be difficult.
