More pictures of our house, for those who are wondering... We still have some rearranging and decorating to make it feel more like home to us, but we are thankful, nonetheless, for a furnished house to just come and live in.
This is the view out our front door towards the street. All the houses here are behind gates and tall fences. Someone told us that dates back to the days when Spain would be attacked by different armies. There is still a "fortress mentality," of sorts. We like it, though, because the kids are able to go out and play and I don't have to worry about them escaping. You can't open the gate without a key. Most all the buildings here are made out of brick or stucco, which we think is because of the lack of wood resources.
This is our front yard. Ours has grass, thanks to the house parents who lived here before us. Some are tiled completely. Others are just dirt and weeds.
This is our back yard and patio, also fenced in completely. Someone found this swing set in the storage container at the school and left it for us. David put it together yesterday. The kids love it! We've never had a back yard or a level enough yard to have our own playground.
This is the view inside our house from the front porch.
This is the living room. The furniture was already here, although we did buy the curtains and pillows to give it some color.
This is the other half of our living/dining room.
This is a shot of Rachel and Mathis's room. We borrowed these bunk beds from another ECA family who weren't quite ready for them. They graciously said we could borrow them for at least this year.

I like it! The house has a great feel to it, and it will be fun to make it more and more your own.
Your house looks like a comfortable and homey place to live.
