NATSUHO

Yesterday, our exchange student arrived! She is from Japan and will be staying with us for 10 days. Our high school has a sister school (Taikyu High School) where we make visits back and forth. We have already had so much fun with her. She is darling! Last night when I took this picture, Natsuho had been up for about 30 hours! (That doesn't include a nap on the plane and a quick snooze at our house.) Anyway, I was amazed at how well she looked at 9 p.m. in the evening! I'm sure she was a bit overwhelmed by the NUMBER of people in our family, but she seemed to take it all in stride. No doubt it was a bit confusing as well! We are looking forward to learning more about Natsuho and helping her to learn a little about "normal" (if you can call it that) family life in the US!
