Family Addition

We have a new princess at our house. Her name is Polly and she is an exchange student from Thailand who will be staying with us for the school year. It is fun to have a teen-ager in our home again. She is very sweet and the girls have adopted her as "big sister" already. We look forward to teaching her things about America and getting to learn about Thailand. Tony has already began to teach her things like "we'll cross that bridge when we get to it", "we are just picking on you", etc... We didn't realize how often we say things that cannot be translated literally - they just don't make sense unless you know the cultural context. So it a great learning experience for all of us.
