We have been so fortunate the last two summers to have the pleasure of hosting Marina, our Basque daughter. We love her so much! She hasn't even been gone 12 hours and we are wondering when we will see her or talk to her again! The last couple of days have been an emotional roller coaster of saying goodbye...see you later...expressing our love for one another...knowing that the time was coming to an end.
Our THREE daughters! We enjoyed a special evening out to dinner
on Thursday evening.
The "American Flag" pedicure!
The group of Portland & Gresham Basque students.
We gave Marina a few goodies to go home with!An American flag, Old Navy flip flops,
a few things from Pac Sun, and of course some
chocolate and chocolate chip cookies!
The five of us at the going away dinner that the Basque kids fixed for us last evening!
Marina...be sure and thank your parents for allowing you to spend this time with us. We love you, God loves you, and you will always have a place in our home and in our hearts.
As we said...it is not good-bye...it is see you again sometime...hopefully sooner...not later!
