Our new son

Almost a month ago, Jip came to live with us. He will be here the whole school year and we are so glad to have him. This isn't the best picture of him, taken as he got off the plane after about a 16 hour flight.

He is my friend, Anita's, son and has come over from the Netherlands to go to school here this year. He and Preston are good friends and were supposed to be going to Mesa Community College together, but in the middle of July we found out that Preston received a four year tution scholarship to ASU. We hastily registered Preston for ASU and so the plan for Jip and Preston to go to school together is no more.

Both the boys are enjoying their school experiences so far - just hope that continues after the first tests!

Jip is great to have a round - fun, easy and always happy. We are planning on showing him a real American experience this year and hope he still likes us after spending 9 months with us!

Sounds like a fun and adventurous year for all of you! Jip is lucky to have such great friends to live with.
