It's a girl!


We have an exchange student living with us this year. Her name is Yi-Ching Kuo (Tricia) and she is from Taipei, Taiwan. This is our third exchange student... Linda was from Macau and Paola was from Bolivia. We have loved them all. We are really enjoying Tricia. Her english is very good and even though she doesn't think it is, she laughs at all the appropriate times so we know that she is understanding a lot. She says she has only studied english in school but she understands so many sayings and slang. She just gets it. She is a dancer so she is really enjoying dancing at our studio. She is 18 years old and technically she has fulfilled all of her graduation requirements so I think this exchange is just for the experience and the extra help in english. We just love her and are really honored to be her host family. So if you see a random Asian in our family pictures here and there, you might think it's Lindsay or Linh but it's not - we went out and got our very own cuz it seems like every good family has an Asian in it, doesn't it?

Yep, this confirms what I already knew. You all love me! I mean, really, Peggy. Asian foreign exchange student named Linda? {Couldn't find one named Lindsay, could you!}

I'm glad it's been a good experience for you and your family. I think it would be fun to do that someday.
