Oh Pear?
No! Au Pair! As in,
au pair [oh pair]
–noun
1. a person, usually a young foreign visitor, employed to take care of children, do housework, etc., in exchange for room and board: We sent the children to the beach with the au pair.
Au pair. As in, au AWESOME. And we got one!
That's right friends. This summer we will be the proud owners (borrowers, really) of a shiny new au pair, straight from Germany! (Shiny, like a beautiful new something, not shiny like The Twins definition of shiny. Don't ask).
We are so excited to be hosting a fantastic gal for two months this summer who comes highly spoken of by Mark's parents and their very good friends. She is studying child development and was looking for a family with kids to live with for a couple of months in order to get some hands on experience and see more of California (she's been here multiple times and is fluent in English, as well as two or three other languages). And have we got kids or have we got kids? So, yes please! I will take you, sweet gal, and all of your German loveliness and you can live with us and all of our American loveliness and we will teach each other lots of wonderful things all the while eating Wurts and drinking Hefeweizen.
Prost! <--- That's "cheers" in German. :-)

Kari, sadly we don't have Miss Kelly anymore because the pot of gold that was funding her ran dry. (And Mark's mom and grandma have been coming down 1+ days a week, so I'm still getting a day off, so to speak.) We still very much love Miss Kelly and will use her agin and highly recommend her. If only that darn money tree would've bloomed this year...
And Julie, I am so honored that Kirk would make his commenting debut on my blog. The benefits of a German au pair are endless!! (Was this his first comment?? I don't even know that for a fact).
