INTRODUCING........................

The newest member of our family :)

Ms. HM

Our family decided to host an exchange student for the 2014/2015 school year.

She arrives in August and departs in June.

Our family has been approached many times to do this and we could not make it work UNTIL this year.

I looked at many applications, narrowed it down to a few, showed the kids and they put them in order and I asked the placement coordinator about them.

Ms. HM from South Korea seems to be a perfect fit for our family.

AND

ALL of us are so excited.

The girlies taking pictures and sending them to her while texting.

We text with her every day.

We will Skype this weekend -- it will be her first time meeting Matt and JM.

***She is fun, talented and adventurous.

***She loves to bake, travel, play piano and be with friends.

***She speaks 3 languages:  Korean, Chinese and English!

***She attends church and plays piano for the worship team!

Ms. HM and her younger brother recently at The Great Wall of China on vacation.

Our conversations have been great!!!

***She wanted to know if she could ride a cow!!!!

***She asks about the farm.

***We are learning about her school life in Korea --  a long day 8:30 am to 5:40 pm.  

***The girls LOVE texting with her -- well, so do MD and I.

***She told me she prayed for a teach USA mom.  AND she was thrilled to get an English teacher USA mom!!

***She has NEVER been swimming -- and she is totally looking forward to going to the beach.

Again, with her brother.  She seems to have lots of fun!

We have a few things to get ready before she arrives.  JM is getting the new room and we are changing his old room into something a tad more girly!

We are excited to add another spunky and beautiful girl to our family!

FUN!!!
