in an effort to more clearly communicate with the kiddos, josh and i have decided to try to learn krio. krio, an english-based creole, is our kids' first language. should be easy enough, right??? wrong.
josh found a study manual for us. one of my favorite sentences that i'm sure will be reeeeeaaally useful someday is below :)

That's what I was guessing!! Hopefully I'll be able to pick some pieces of it out when they are speaking... fingers crossed!
