First, the most important is the arrival of this beauty:
This is Penelope Lenore Bailey. She was born in March, just days before Ryan started final exams for his last year at BYU Law School. After years of not being able to have children, this one just showed up without any medical intervention. I guess she knew her daddy needed to finish school first.
Then, in April, Ryan graduated. Yay! We graduated him, packed him up, blessed (christened) his baby, and moved them out here to move in with us all in the same four days. It was a very busy four days.
With a little (or a lot) of rearranging, throwing stuff out, storing stuff away etc, we managed to cram their household into our house. They have their bedroom up in the loft and we made a living area for them in the basement so they can be as social/anti social as they feel like. So far it's worked out well, (at least for us) and we LOVE LOVE LOVE having them here. And not only because they brought Penny with them.
As I mentioned we are hosting exchange students again this summer. We are on our third and final set, this time from China. We had a lovely girl from Vietnam first, then two girls from Hong Kong. It keeps us kind of crazy/busy, but I've learned to love all of the students we've hosted and I always miss them when they go.
That's it for now. I will post pics of our students when I get them from Sam. Which may be later than sooner...
