Hey - Who's that kid in all your pictures?

Most of you know and have met Kevin but for those of who are wondering if we've adopted, the answer is no. (well, sorta)
 He definitely feels part of our family, but he's not ours, we are just borrowing him from his family in Korea. So meet Kevin (JongHyuk Lee)....

Kevin is a 13 yr old 7th grade student from Korea that has come to live with us during the school year to improve his English skills and help him qualify for an international high school back home. Kevin has been visiting us in the summers for a few years now and so when we were asked to host him for the school year we gladly accepted. He is a hard worker, English came quickly to him - but speaking English in Science class, Math story problems, etc has been challenging for him. But he is doing very well and does most of his homework on his own now. Here is a photo of where you can find him everyday after school - the kitchen counter doing homework.
He also does some Korean homework out of workbooks to keep him from forgetting Korean.
He is a fun, loving, helpful, silly and good boy. We love having him in our family. He keeps us laughing. He will be here for his 8th grade school year too after going home for the summer to be with his Korean Family.
Here are some photo's of Kevin when he is not in school or doing homework.
 His first Halloween in America and he wanted to be an old man prisoner.
 Loves playing and usually beating the boys in pool.

 Loves the snow. Loves to build snow forts.

Loves swimming.
He and McKay are good buddies.
Kevin is definitely part of our family and we love having him here.
