Homecoming!

Our wonderful, sweet Norwegian exchange daughter arrived this afternoon for a 5-day visit. Marie lived with us in Maryland in 2008-09. We had a fabulous year together and are so happy to welcome her home, even if our new home is now in Germany. She says it still feels like she is back in America. After a typical boisterous night around the dinner table, she even declared that nothing has changed at all in five years - aside from being much taller, the kids still banter over one another, tease and argue exactly as they always have :)

Welcome home, dear Marie!
