[QUOTE="iowa hawkeyes, post: 1011816, member: 13428"] Update Wow! What a year it has been. Our "son" has been such a great addition to our family. He went out for football as the kicker and did a fabulous job. So much so that he will be getting a college scholarship to play at my alma mater. We are so excited to have him back! He will go home for the summer and return in the fall. He thoroughly embraced us and our way of life on the farm. One story that still makes me laugh and shows how things can get lost in translation... We were picking punkins one day (10 acres) and he said to my husband. "Next year I think you should buy some Mexicans to do this." I said I thought I probably would hire some next year, not buy them. :shock: He also played basketball (not very good, but improved a lot over the season), joined FFA, youth group, and an adult soccer league. We went to Las Vegas over Thanksgiving and enjoyed visiting there. We had never been there before and thought it would be fun. This Saturday his parents, brother, and brother's girlfriend will be arriving from Germany. They will stay a few days and then tour the US. They wanted to go to Yellowstone, but we kind of talked them out of it because it's been such a cold spring. I think they will head south to the Ozarks and Texas. Then to Chicago to fly home. We are having his farewell, pseudo-graduation, celebration this Sunday. Friends and relatives will join in our party to celebrate our wonderful year with our new "son". [/QUOTE]
