Welcome, Mariska! Get better, Guido!



Welcome, Mariska! 


I'm sorry I haven't been blogging. We've had a wild week with Guido being sick with the flu and a wonderful visit from Sebino's mom, Mariska.

Guido is better, although he does a have a deep cold in his chest. Mariska and Sebino have been skiing. The first night we attended a gathering in Portland, Maine, of Greenheart exchange students. We met Guido's brother Ivan and I met former students of mine, Katie and Craig Dickson and their five children and two exchange students!

On the first day of Mariska's visit, we attended a kitchen party celebrating Connie and Ben's new kitchen with her kids and many of Connie and Ben's friends and family members. Great food and fun conversations but someone failed to take pictures! :-(

Here are a collage of pictures of a little of everything over the past week. Oh, and this week is the State Championships of Skiing at Black Mountain. Unfortunately, Guido may not be able to compete because of his slow recovery.
