How blessed am I!

How fun it has been to have my own dear children and their spouses and their children in my life, along with foreign exchange children, some of who are now married, and grandchildren that way too.

And then there's been all the other innumerable exchange students that have either been a part of our household for a few days or weeks or months, or who we have enjoyed as part of the group we supervise each year.

Some of these supervised students are nearly like our own as well from time they have spent with us, like Bjorn and Martin.

What fun it has been and is!
