This has continued to be a wonderful experience for us, and I hope for them too!
Both made varsity track (hard to do here) and one made the National Honor Society! They've definitely seen the gamut of American life; our daughter is about to deliver and they've been to some baby showers. My husband's aunt died after Christmas and they were with us for all that too. One daughter got married in the fall and they celebrated right along with us (several showers there too) and participated in the rehearsal when bridesmaids couldn't come until later. They loved going to football games and celebrating holidays; we're making their Easter baskets now!
My prediction about the house being filled with our sons' friends has come true. One had had 5 friends spending the night on Friday and our visiting daughters, who hadn't noticed all the cars out front, were startled when they all came tramping down the stairs the next day.
So we've signed up for 2 more next year: a Chilean and a Japanese!
