Bye Echo (aka Yang Xu)

The time has come and early this morning Echo left on a jet plane bound for China. She has been with our family everyday since Aug 20th 2012.  When the time came to say goodbye at the airport it was hard.  I felt like I was putting one of my own children on a plane and not sure I would ever see them again.  It has been a great year and we have seen her blossom before our eyes.  We have learned so much about Zoe's birth country from her and she was like an older sister to Zoe this year.  We will Miss You Yang Xu!

Silver Falls

Sunday we met up with the Exchange program and had Echo's exit interview.  We had a picnic lunch and then hiked down to the falls.

She's here!

Our foreign exchange student Yang has arrived from China.  We picked her up at the airport and she was one exhausted girl.  Here's some pictures from today.

News!

Were happy to announce that we will be hosting a foreign exchange student from Mongolia next year.  We are supper excited about this opportunity and can't wait to meet her.  She is 15 years old and will be a Junior!  We get more information soon with her picture and more about her and her family.
