Almost over...

This is Debbie's last day of school at Shawnee Mission West.  She will walk at graduation next week, and then leave on May 30.  It has been a fulfilling, if somewhat challenging 10 months.  We hope that she takes home something meaningful from her stay here in Kansas.  She mentioned that she would like to come back to the States, although not to Kansas City, which is naturally disappointing to hear.  Hopefully, as she grows up she will be able to look back and reflect on her stay in our household as a cherished memory.  We all wish her the best in her future endeavors. 

Yes, I've been negligent...

I have some really cute pics, though...  Debbie turned 17 and they went to WPA last month...  I will go back and post some stuff from Christmas, too - Things get busy, okay?  :)

The other kids in the pre-dance pics are friends Makaela and Mark.  Cute group, huh?
