Wilson's exchange nears end


Wilson has been busy all year with band, church and basketball activities. He has been a part of our family for nearly ten months. We've had our good times and bad. He knows our faults but seems to have enjoyed himself in spite of them.

He is much like an American teen. Wilson loves to practice hip-hop dancing, play basketball, sing with popular music, chat on the internet, buy jeans, shoes and fix his hair. He enjoys going out with friends, sleeping in and eating lots of food which he also doesn't mind cooking for himself when needed. If I were to guess, I would say he liked the various kinds of meat best, but still favors chicken wings. ;o) Oh, and bacon.

We have learned a lot. I hope he has learned some positive things that will help him throughout his life. We will miss him.

Wilson's graduation/farewell party is tonight from 7 -9 pm. We are spending the day assembling photos for a scrapbook he can take home. I will post some photos here too, as soon as I can.

He will fly home to Hong Kong in one week.

This has been one amazing year for our family!

I'm glad to hear you are making a photo scrapbook for Wilson to take home with him! :)
It's sad to be nearing the time of having to say goodby. "Parting is such sweet sorrow."

How sad... He has become a part of the family and I know he will be missed. Any news on how soon your newest grandson will be born? I am being induced on June 26th at 38 wks and cannot wait.
