Almost here....

We are hosting an exchange student from Germany. Her name is Alena, she is from Germany, and she will be here on Friday afternoon of this week.

This blog will be about the ups and downs, challenges and rewards of adding a teenager to our already busy lives....we are anticipating this to be an amazing experience for all of us.

Our current family consists of mom (me, Kristi), dad (Ken) and three daughters, Kathryn (we call her Katie sometimes) age 11, Emily, age 10, and Megan, age 7. As you can imagine, we requested a female student because we have NO idea how to raise boys!

We have been communicating with her and her mom on facebook and email for months so we feel like we already know her! Both of them speak and write well in English so this has been fun and easy for us!

So, welcome to my blog and thanks for coming along for the ride!
