We've now been here for 7 and a half months. Only three more to go. We have loved out time here, and if there weren't so many issues with immigration (both here and in the US) We would probably stay longer. Lydia speaks Spanish better than I do of course now. She is still going to school, and loves it. Owen mostly speaks English, but he has says a few Spanish phrases now and then. Still spends most of his time walking around as someone else, Yoda or Spiderman or Ironman usually. When I ask him to do something like get his shoes or even lay down, he says, "I'm too tired". Me? Well my spanish is nowhere near up to par with the kids, but I'm much more comfortable in everyday conversation and in church than I was. I am now able to go grocery shopping alone and even take taxis without Charlie. Those may sound small, but they were huge milestones for me. Golly, only took me seven months. As for Charlie, he works a lot. Its good to be busy I suppose. He just got a new contract for a building that he will be overseeing alone. Trying to move things along quickly (which is not really the regular pace here in Bolivia) But even if he gets things done faster than usual, he'll still have to stay here until march. But we already have our tickets home so he'll come and help me move in and then go back. I'm not very good at being without my Charlie, but we make things work the best we can. It'll be no fun without him, even if it is only for 8 weeks.
Anyway, thats all I can think of right now.
