Spain, Spanish, Spaniard

Our old foreign exchange student is like another member of the family.  And despite her summer stay two years ago, we have daily kept in contact.  She has been planning another visit and finally after some schedule arranging she came for 11 days in January, right before T-dawg's birthday. 

I love her like my own child and the first morning the kids were all in school, we climbed back into bed together to watch TV and wake up more leisurely and try to overcome the jetlag.  Then after that...it was game on.  We played, we visited, we shopped, we laughed and talked, we cuddled and occasionally cried (especially near the end).  I would keep her forever if I could.  I love this girl!
