I have so many things to tell you. I am sure you have seen our new house. We went to Hawaii, and we are really happy of all the good things God has bless us with. I am not sure if you are reading my blog or not anymore. For sure, I have been so busy with our lives that I totally neglected to write about us for almost 3 years. My girls are growing fine. Karla is a pre- teen, dealing with all the changes that her body has. She still plays the piano and she loves to play soccer. This year she improved soccer a lot, she had a good coach. My girl is very responsible with school, and she is a good student. I love her passion for missions and her caring instinct for the needy. She did profession of faith last year. It was good to see her ready!
Daniela is 7 years old now, she is a good student, she loves reading just like her sister. She is very active and she likes outdoor activities. She loves hiking and rock climbing. She is very friendly and likes to please her parents.
The summer is almost here, we have been thinking on things we could do here. Now that our school is doing a Spanish immersion, my girls appetite to learn Spanish has finally awaken, so I am composing children stories in Spanish, and both of my girls sit and listen to my reading. They both tell me what I am doing wrong and they also add more things to it. Our new project for this summer is to finish and publish one of my stories into a book in both languages. Karla is also writing stories and she wants to publish her story as well. Daniela is going to be the illustrator in our drafts, and maybe later in other books.
I am done with one story. Of course, it takes time to write well, to find the right words in either language and to make it sound right. I guess my main idea is for Karla and Daniela to read and write well in Spanish, I know it is difficult, but not impossible. I am sure we all are learning some new things, and I think it will be good for my girls and for me too.
My book is called "Lito y el Lobo." I just started to make the same story in English. I love to review grammar, punctuation, and run on sentences. I am sure you may find many of those in these paragraphs. Randall has been helping me a lot, also some friends and family from Peru. Before I publish, we want to make sure that everything is correct.This is our first draft, a 30
pages book. All illustrated by
Daniela. She was very happy,
this book is for a second to third grade
level. I don’t think Daniela could
read it yet, but she could understand
most of it. Not so much for the
meaning of the book, but for the
new vocabulary.
If you are interesting to read it, I will probably will have it done in both languages in the summer. I can order some books for you at no cost for you. Text me or call me, I will be very happy to share with friends and family.
Until next time
Love you all
