American Andrii

Andrii's Breakfast

This is what happens after 5:30am Karate class!

Andrii & friends heading out for a camp-out in the woods.

Andrii is my Ukrainian 13 year old who prefers to be very American, except at breakfast. He has not liked breakfast cereal since day 1. He is an everything-bagel kind of guy. Lately though he's taken up eating a cup of dry raisin bran crunch with a cup of milk - he does not like them mixed together in the same bowl. This morning I discovered him with his cup of raisin bran with chocolate syrup drizzled over top and his cup of milk on the side...ooookaayyy Andrii. He loves pizza, potatoes, bread, bagels, soup, and chicken tenders with french fries. The other day he leaned back, folded his hands behind his head, and proudly declared, "I have red arm pit hair." TMI, Andrii. He is very pleased at being a red-head. He is a hard working, smart boy. His siblings all enjoy being around him and he's very good with the little kids. We are over-joyed that he is in our family.
