Malachai "did you know that Agata got to ride siete times . . . uh, how do you say siete in English?
Joshua: "seven"
Malachai "did you know that Agata got to ride seven times on the . . . uh, how do you say tiovivo in English?
Joshua: "merry-go-round"
Malachai: "did you know that Agata got to ride seven times on the merry-go-round?"

Naomi - it might be too late - we are moving AROUND July 15th. Maybe a little before....any idea of dates/times you'll be here?
Naomi, I love this! Thanks for sharing language tidbits as well as so many other things to do with the culture and with raising children to know and love Jesus.
Will you be in Colorado at all during your time in the States? I know you'll be busy enough, but a girl can ask. :-) I remember a great tivovivo in California...might have been in San Diego...my memory is getting foggy.
Pop along to my blog to see a little bit of what our summer will entail. We are SO excited!
Hugs from Colorado,
Debbie
How 'bout Idaho? Will you be in Idaho during your time in the states?
uncle Jim - - yes, we are organizing our travel plans now, and fitting "up north" into them . . . we'll be in touch!
Debbie - - we (without our two boys!) will be in Co. let's hook up!
Kasey - - we are trying, trying, trying for Idaho . . . I think we'll make it.
