The house

Here are some pics of the place from the day we arrived:

Back yard/patio:


The girls' room. (They want to share--it's what they're used to.)


Master bedroom:

Master bedroom closet (!) and Exploring Birdie:

Our bathroom. Really nice. The house is full of showers but this big tub is our only tub. To bathe Cubby, we do bucket brigade from the sink because it would take about 5 hours to fill otherwise. Once we get some water pressure to the big tub, we'll be sittin' pretty.


The view from our bedroom. There are lots of houses still under construction all around us. Note the playground on the right. Through that white building on the other side is a swimming pool. Having these things so close is amazing.

The living room/dining room: (it was getting dark)


...and the outside. We had pictures that came out better, but I think this one captures the chaos of the day.

  2. Thanks! We feel fortunate and are quite happy here. We need to make it homey, and we need to get some rugs. Cubby's hands and knees are filthy since he's always on the ground!

  3. Love it - especially the last shot with you all in it. I can't wait to see it decorated. Paint the walls wild and crazy colors - you're in Mexico! You can totally get away with it. Are you doing murals for the kids?

  4. Christy, I totally agree with the bright color idea! We'll see how brave we actually are. I'd love to do little murals - we were talking about that last night, actually. Now to find a babysitter so I have more than 5 minutes of peace at a time... :)

  5. Wow, the house looks fantastic! So spacious and open. Sounds like the girls are adjusting well despite the rough beginning. Your girls are so brave! I don't think Owen and Phillip would have adjusted as well. Looks like you're doing an awesome job of keeping everything flowing. kudos Narra!

  6. Good luck finding a sitter ASAP! Can I make a request? Post about the food! The stores? The vendors? The meals? The restaurants? :)
