La casa y las ninas

Here are pictures of the house, and the girls:

This is their house. They bought it 3 years ago and have been doing little remodeling projects. Right now they are getting the patio entrance re-done. The guy made it really bumpy so he had to tear it all up and start over. 

Because it's so hot in Spain, almost everyone has a pool. It's very nice to take a dip in the afternoon when it's very hot. The kids love the pool, and would be in it all day every day if they could.

This is the dining/family room. We spend most of our time here when we're not outside or doing other things. I teach their classes here.

This is my room. It's on the first floor, because its a bit cooler than the upstairs. They don't have air conditioning so we keep the windows open to get some air. The kids love to watch TV, so they ask me, in English, if they can come watch in my room.

Here is Mercedes. She is 7 years old. She talks a lot in Spanish, and tries to talk a lot in English too. She learns very fast and is very adventurous. She comes up with all the ideas for games and activities.

Here is Paula. She is the baby, and is so cute! She doesn't talk but makes funny faces so you can know what she's thinking. She's only 1 year old, but loves to get involved in whatever Alvaro and Mercedes are doing. I think she looks like a baby doll.

Time to go play wii!
