A day in my neighborhood with Isabel (left) and Emma (right)....I felt like a kid again...tongue sticking out and all!!!

The sun is in our eyes! (Isabel, Me, Emma)

...fun in the sand!...in the sun!...in the park! (Isabel, Me, Meredith)

A silly day indeed! (Isabel, Me, Meredith)

Meredith and Emma!...Like mother, like daughter!

Chinchi -- Emma ---

This is the newest member in our flat! Her name is Chinchi or Emma, and she is a Chinchilla! Her fur is sooo soft, and I am determined to make her into a cat!....We love you Chinchi!

Fútbol: Denmark vs. Spain

This was my first football (soccer!) game ever! It was very excited and I loved the cheering. Spain won, of course, which meant that everyone left content. So, although I would not do it every day, it may be an event to repeat everyone once and awhile. Viva España!

At the Opera!

Well, this was my first opera and it was amazing. We had the very last two seats in the Opera House -- Teatro Real. We saw two short operas, both in Italian. The first was very emotional and the second, called the Rustic Gentlemen, was really my favorite. In the photo: Kate and I before the event.
