Snow, Snow, Snow!

I hope you all have enjoyed the snow and time off from school this past week!  Nine inches of the white stuff is not often seen in Huntsville. 

If any of you have photos or a short description of activities or events you've participated in as a host family, and would like to share them on this blog, please email them to Jim at jpowers92@comcast.net or Mary at mpowers313@comcast.net.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to all in the CIEE family!  Please forgive me for being a bit remiss about posting over the holidays. Before Christmas, as many of you may know, Kristina broke both ankles while jumping on a trampoline.  Our hearts go out to you, Kristina, for a speedy recovery.
