I am trying to translate the following mail:

This is the much I could do:
Hello how are you. Thanks for your reply and tell me, are those your photos are recent? and tell me if you do any exercise and I'm not good with skirts. do not like much. I feel comfortable with pants. and if I like the bb and I like to cook typical meals here and there when you come to cusco, you know. and tell me you have good kids and that you are learning the Spanish right. I do not have them now. I am going to send you my photos as soon as I have them. Do not worry. I expect your reply. Take care of you. many kisses.
Please, you guys should look through and see if I got everything right. I did this the whole night. Your responses will be well appreciated. Many thanks.

Some minor comments.
First of all don't you like the punctuation? These run-on sentences seem typical. I occasionally proofread for a Spanish speaker learning English. His English sentences are the same. None of them is less than a paragraph long. It may have something to do with the fact that Spanish doesn't capitalize everything like we do. They're afraid to make a new sentence because they would have to use a capital letter. ![]()
dime [que] practicas algun deporte
tell me that you practice some sport
be careful because sí usually ends up as si
y si me gusta los bb
and, yes, I like the "bb".
te haré conocer
I will make you know (conocer is "know" as to be familiar with) so this is something akin to "I will introduce you to it." or "I will familiarize you with it."
dime tu tienes hijos y que bueno que estes aprendiendo el español ahorita
Not talking about good children. It's "How nice that you are learning Spanish right now."
espero tu respuesta
I await your reply.
Make sure that when you write back that you use proper punctuation. It may serve as a hint.
