My parents had a pair of yorkies when I was born. I also have a younger sister and brother, the dogs were fine with the three of us. Our female always wanted to play fetch and see what we were up to, but our male didn't care much for playing with us. He wanted to look out the living room window and "protect" our home from anyone who dared to walk in front of our house. All dogs are different.
I have 5 children now (my youngest is 8) and my yorkie is 17 months old and she is playful, but she prefers to play with me or my older children. She does like all of my kids though, and she happily greets them with kisses and a wagging tail every morning.
It can work, just give him time to adjust - you are strangers to him. He needs to learn to trust you.
