Some of you might remember that year before last we hosted an exchange student from the Netherlands, Anita. Having Anita as part of our family was a very rewarding experience for all of us, and we all agreed that "someday" we would like to host another student. I never would have imagined that "someday" would be this year, as we have already had such an eventful time of it; but when the Youth for Understanding rep contacted me asking if I knew anyone willing to host, I got a little tug in my heart. Kirk & I decided that there was no time like the present, and contacted YFU to update our host family application.
Within a couple of weeks, we got word that our new "daughter," Pim, would join us the first week of January. Pim is from a suburb of Bankok, Thailand, and lived with another host family in Sacramento for the first part of the school year. She will live with us until June, attending our local high school and coming along on all of our wild adventures. The boys already love their big sister, and she is definitely taking their rascally ways in stride. We hope you'll have a chance to meet her!
