I can't believe our three week with Sabrina are already over. It went by really fast, and then Logan's birthday came and finished off our craziness, but while Sabrina was still here, we took a trip to South Towne Mall.
There were a couple others from the German program that came along, so I spent the time at the play area with the boys, which they LOVED.
Then we played spies and walked all around the mall. They boys actually did really well. I got a pretty good workout too, I think I carried the stroller up and down stairs at least ten times.
They loved to "pretend" that they were really driving the cars and that they were really working.
The last few days were pretty packed with field trips for Sabrina, so we didn't actually get to see her very much.
On conference Saturday one of her German friends came over and spent the day.
On Sunday we got to go to the morning session at the Conference Center. I was a little nervous about driving up and the crowds, but it turned out to be a really good experience and I'm glad we were able to go. It was actually really nice to listen to a whole session for a change. We have the radio and TV on at home, but with our wild little boys, sometimes we don't get as much out of Conference as we could. :)
Jaron is starting to figure out how to ride the "horsey"...sort of. Sometimes he climbs on backwards.
Our new policy at the table...if you stand up on your chair, you obviously don't want to sit and eat, so to be safe, we'll just move the chair and you can finish your meal standing up.
Jaron is going to mail himself to Germany to visit Sabrina.
At our farewell party Sabrina got a chance to tell us some of her favorite things. She said she loved going on all the trips especially Arches and Family Home Evenings. That made me feel good. Logan also got a chance to go up and said he was glad that Sabrina got to stay until his birthday, but then had to go home. It was really sweet. We are going to miss her and hope that she comes and visits again.
We had a good experience with having an exchange student and I think we got pretty lucky to get such a neat girl. I think we'll wait until Logan is old enough to have and exchange student as a "brother" before we do it again though. It was pretty complicated trying to do this with little kids. Until next time....
