Marina's Kitchen Table

In the video, he turns to Bella (pictured here) and asks her something in Spanish, and she answers back in Spanish. It was beautiful to see her not hesitate, just to speak it so naturally. I knew the littlest would pick it up quickly, but didn’t know what that would look like time wise. Although we get to talk with them via video calls nearly weekly, we miss this family so much.

So watch your inboxes, or join me on Facebook and Instagram ... Blessings, Marina Marina's Kitchen Table
