another quiet week in Iowa

As is typical in the Midwest, I am about to talk about the weather...The morning temps have begun to drop - usually in the 40's. Fede goes out the the door each day to check it out. The first time it was 44, he told me that this was the coldest weather he had ever felt. If he were home, it would mean long undies, extra coat, scarf, the works. I just smiled, and watched as he went out in his jacket, wondering how he will survive the winter here!
I am really enjoying the Latin model of spending time together, talking and pondering. When he comes home from school, he checks in and lets me know what has gone on at school. In the evenings, he has joined us to watch debates, commentaries and John Stewart. Naturally knowing English so well has made all of this so much easier, but he also is just easy to have around. Back in Argentina, Eleanor's family wonders when families in America talk...as they eat both the noon and evening meals together most every day.
