Noelle also brought up the issue of accomodations. It's fine for Alex to stay with us, but I'm not sure that, given the limited space, whether it will be comfortable for everybody the entire time. So, there are a few possibilities if this becomes an issue. Noelle mentioned the idea that perhaps Alex would have an interest in only staying one (1) month instead of the entire 2.5 summer months. Another option could be that he could stay the entire 2.5 months, but maybe stay somewhere else for part of the time (where that would be would have to be decided later). I think these decisions could be made later, 'tho. I just wanted to prepare you and everyone for whatever might come.
