Well, one day left until we welcome Ines to the family. This will be the first time in several years that I have hosted two students at the same time so I am probably as nervous as the girls.
I do think however that we have several factors in our favor that will make this an overall good experience:
* Neither Ines nor Siying have a sister of their own, they both have brothers - so they are both looking forward to gaining a new sister.
* They both like to read and to draw. I will be looking at encouraging them both to join the Art Club at school.
* Both girls are articulate and mature which is how they made it through the qualifications for YFU in the first place.
I am looking forward to watching them both grow and learn - from the U.S. and each other.
