Another son
Last night at our family video chat we informed Shawn that we now have another son. He recalled the times in the past when this happened. Hopefully he will not feel as displaced this time. On Tuesday we welcomed into our home an 18 year old young man from Belgium. He is an exchange student in our local school. He will be with us until the first part of June. The most radical change in our lives so far is that Gerry has to get up almost two hours earlier to take him to school on his way to work. In the great state of Ohio (note sarcasm) most of our school funding comes from local levies that are voted on by the citizens. And as you may have guessed the levies do not pass. So in cost cutting, busing for high school students is the first to go. I always voted for the levies even though we no longer have students in the system so I can complain. But we are happy to have him here.

Congratulations! It's a boy!
Wow! That is awesome aunt B. What a change it will be to have a young person in the house. Looking forward to your updates.
Wow. That's so exciting. Wife and I almost did the same but finally chickened out. As it turns out with my Dad, it was probably for the best.
That is very cool!! I will have to tell our Belgian sales guy, he was a student in PA for an exchange year and he loved it.
Good for you! I remember you had great experiences with former exchange students.
