You know your children watch too much TV when...

You know your children watch too much TV in Guatemala when your 3 year old's favorite phrase in Spanish is "Aqui en Discovery Kids." (Here on Discovery Kids)

Lily's Spanish is getting better...here are a few things she can say...

Buenos Noches...Good Night
Buenas Dias...Good Morning.
Muchas Gracias...Thank you very much.
and No!...No! (which I'm afraid gets a lot of use when you are 3).

Muy Bien, Lily! Amy...think how far ahead your kids will be in Spanish next year!! Allison and Austin had their first day of school today. Fun, fun! Alli is eagerly anticipating "Spanish" for the first time on Friday!!
Thanks for the update!!
Love and Prayers,

Hola, come estas? You guys are on an amazing journey, it's not often I feel jealousy, but I wish I could be there helping you in any way I can. Klanderman where did all your hair go man? I had to do a double take to make sure it was the same guy I knew in High School!

Wife and I (+newborn) are moving back to Holland when our house sells. We should catch up.

Thanks for sharing your story and for speaking of the power of prayer. I am a big believer that God may not answer your prayers in the way you wish, but he listens and definitely provides the strength to carry on when times are tough.

Take care,

Hola!! That's about the only word I know! ha ha We have a Spanish exchange student right now for a couple of weeks, and James will go to his home in March. It is fun! His name is Eduardo Pla, and he is a great kid-cheerful, respectful. He speaks English very well, as he's had it since he was 4 years old. They don't speak much Spanish together. He and James are hitting it off great and they are SO busy!! Anyway, our prayers are with you all the time. Thanks for all the beautiful pictures! They're awesome! Lily's hair has grown so much. Caden and Maya seem as if they're having quite an adventure! Such a life experience that they will remember. Glad to see that Maya has a "WEB" book in Guatemala too. Fun!
Take care.
