Elsa - Our French Exchange Student...Our New Friend!




We love Elsa! Elsa has been visiting with us for the past ten days. We have fallen in love with this dark haired beauty from the exquisite country of France. Elsa has enjoyed getting to know our American customs and we hers. I have been anxious for the kids to learn more of what it is like to live somewhere other than the United States and to feel grateful for the things they take for granted. The french seem to live simply as Elsa has taught us by her excitement for chocolate chip cookies, television with more than 4 channels, and ipods. Yes, Elsa finally has her first ipod we purchased for her on Ebay (new), but much cheaper than buying in her native country. We are sending her home with it loaded for more than she most likely bargained for (the kids wide array of music off itunes). I'm sure her trip home will be full of memories with each song. "Bon Voyage Elsa!" we will miss you. Can't wait to visit you in France!
