Jan 7, 2011

The big event today was to go to the sale barn and watch the cattle sale. Some of our friends, Dan Dennison and Joe Kearney, were selling some of their calves. So we went out to the sale and the first thing we saw was someone selling Australian Shepherd puppies. Sergiy wanted to hold one for a bit and at $200 a piece holding is all that was going to take place.

I thought he might have been getting bored and offered to go but he wanted to stay longer. He liked watching them butt each other and get a little fiesty in the pens. He came home and told Deborah what had happened by "acting out" in charades what the calves were doing in the pen.

We watched the first Narnia movie tonight. He told us that he had seen it once before in Ukraine so he understood the movie even though it was in English. I have really been surprised how much he likes movies. I thought not knowing English would be a huge barrier to him enjoying movies but it doesn't seem to impact it. We are hoping to go see the new Narnia movie before he leaves. It is in 3D and we haven't yet been to a movie theater since he has been here.

Tomorrow we have tickets to go to the monster truck jam in Des Moines. A commercial came on TV today and after seeing it, he is very excited about going.

One more week....and he flies back to Ukraine...
