Exchange Parenting

We have officially become parents to two 15-year-old girls from two different countries. This semester promises to be a semester full of adventure, joy, and learning. Our two lovely ladies arrived tonight. Daniela is from Germany and flew into Omaha. Amy, who grew up in South Africa and now lives in Australia, flew into Rapid City.

We greeted Dani at the airport in Omaha. My brother Rob and student Rebekah were scheduled to pick Amy up in Pierre but they found out on the way to Pierre that her flight was cancelled. She was able to get on a flight to Rapid City instead so they headed west instead and were able to make it just in time to greet her there.

We are looking forward to sharing our experiences with "our girls" on this blog. In the meantime, enjoy this picture of the lovely Amy and Rebekah. (Our picture of Dani didn't turn out very well!)
