Alicia's Children were growing very fast. It was nearly two years since we had seen Tony (and the rest of our respective families) who was now the "elder brother" of Mariana, whom we had not met yet.


Los chicos de Alicia estaban creciendo rapidísimo.
Hacía casi dos años que no veíamos a Tony (y a todo el resto de nuestras respectivas familias), que ya era el "hermano mayor" de Mariana, a quien no conocíamos todavía.

Here there is a gap in the letters, Alejandrina didn't keep some of them. They must have been very busy with Pablito, Teresa's baby, who had just been born. Suddenly we got the photo, where he looks very grown up indeed. We were missing everything.

Alejandrina no guardó algunas cartas. Debían estar muy ocupadas con Pablito Oscar, el bebé de Teresa, que apenas había nacido. De golpe nos llega esta foto donde se lo ve muy crecido. Nos estábamos perdiendo todo eso.
