Track Day

Borlaug kids, 5th and 6th graders went to City-High's track today. They ran and had a fun track and field meet with some other elementary schools. Assen enjoyed the 'Tug-of-war.' Press-citizen put some very nice videos on line.

Eleven years old

We celebrated Assen's eleventh birthday yesterday at Los Portales. We sang Happy Birthday and ate a delicious fried ice cream! We drank large margaritas --not Assen. Assen loves Taylor Swift music and everything about her. He is thinking about getting a Nook or a Kindle for his birthday.

Gotcha Day

Celebrated Assen's gotcha day!  We watched the video of his adoption. We also found some videos of orphanages in Bulgaria --very sad. Went to Cheky-Cheese in Cedar Rapids and had dinner at the Outback in Coralville.
Assen is growing up. He is reading better every day and he likes swimming.
