My hat is off in awe. If I ever had a pile of kids I'd want you to raise them.

Our experience was the middle school years were the craziest. Their brains do mature in the later teens. Looks like you're certainly helping that process. I'd give odds that your success rate in turning out first-rate adults will be 9 for 9, or in any case WAY above the statistical average.
Another thing to look forward to. The older they get, they more their outcomes are their own doing.
