As we continue to get used to our 2 exchange students, we continue to realize we will have surprises for a few days/weeks/months.

In our house, the piano shares a room with my daughter’s guinea pigs.  After a brief visit to the guinea pigs, our exchange students engaged in an impromptu “jam session”.  (Jam session is being stretched to its limit by describing what they engaged in.  Since it was not rehearsed, it seems to be a great way to properly build expectations….)  Knowing the 2 girls have seemed to form a very special bond in the few days they have known each other made their piano session a confirmation of the relationship.  To think they have over 9 more months to cultivate the relationship!
