Hours away from his first day

Tomorrow morning Janni and his host siblings will head to Kingwood High School. I think it's safe to say that he is the most excited of the trio!

He's gotten a lot of advice from the girls - especially about his first day outfit...

They were very excited to help Janni chose an outfit

I can't believe Janni has already been here for three weeks. On one hand it's been such a smooth transition, on the other it seems like he has always been here and has always been a part of our family.

Yesterday I asked Janni a few questions about his experience so far. I learned:

• Yes, he still really likes having a sister. (I know there will be moments he regrets this statement!)
• Texas is much bigger and hotter than he expected. I keep promising it will cool off. But he may be getting a bit skeptical.
• No, he's not homesick but does miss his family - even his youngest brother ;)
• Fajitas were the tastiest meal so far (no argument there!)

Tomorrow's post-school discussion should also be interesting. I think it will be fun to hear Janni's impressions of his new American high school and how it differs from his school in Germany.

I know he will make friends easily and soon feel at home in the building he said is much, much larger than his previous school. And if the girls have anything to do with it he will be the best-dressed new student by far!
