Carnaval

Me ha dado cuenta ahora mismo que no he puesto nada del carnaval, asi que pondre nuestras preciosidades por lo menos un poquito. Teniamos una fiesta en la capilla y se han elegido ellas los disfrazes.

I just realized that I didn't put anything for carneval, so here are at least a few of the pictures. We had a party in the ward and they chose their costumes on their own.

Nerea

Hoy en coger algo de la estanteria encima del sofa, se cayeron unas cosas encima de Nerea y de repente estaba llorando y salio mucha sangre. Cuando se acababa la sange era solo un agujerito pequenito, pero el susto nos llevamos igual. Ahora lleva una tirita muy grande, como si se hubiera abierto la frente entera. Asi que me parece que con esta hija vamos a pasar alguna mas de esas. (aunque esta vez no ha sido su culpa, solo que hay muy poco espacio aqui y esta todo encima).

Today in getting something off the shelf above the couch, some fell down and Nerea was sitting right underneath. So all of the sudden she was crying and blood was flowing. When we finally got it controlled, it was only a little hole, but we were scared anyway. So now she has this big plaster across her forehead, like she had everything open. I think this won't be the last time Nerea gets hurt (although this wasn't her fault, just that living in this little space, everything is on top).

Nuestros talentos de musica / Our music talents

A nuestras chicas les encanta cantar. Siempre estan cantando algo. Alguna vez se ponen encima de una mesa y se ponen a cantar a todo volumen o a dirigir la musica en la noche hogar. El domingo tenia Que cantar una cancion Lorena en la primaria y lo he grabado porque lo ha hecho tan bien. Se ha confundido un poco con la letra, pero no le ha dado verguenza ni nada a cantar en frente de la gente (aunque tampoco se puede decir que tenemos una primaria grande). Y Nerea queria seguirla tambien, claro. Asi que aqui esta.

Our girls love to sing, they're always singing something. Sometimes they put themselve on top of a chair and sing really loud or direct the music that is playing. This Sunday Lorena was asked to sing a song in Primary and I recorded it because she did a great job. She got a big confused with the words but she was embarrassed or anything to sing in front of people (although we don't really have a big primary either). Nerea had to follow too of course. So here it is.

Peinados / Hairdos

Ultimamente he encontrado un monton de blogs con peinados chulisimas para mis chicas y estoy locamente cada noche buscando que hacer el dia siguiente!! Me encanta! Asi que aqui algunos intentos, algunos ha quedado mejores que otros, pero no soy profesional.

Lately I found some blogs to do really cool hairdos for my girls and I'm every night looking for new ones to do the next day! This is great! So here you have some pics, some better than others, but I'm learning!

La vida diaria / daily life

Pues otra vez toca ya poneros al corriente con nuestra vida.
No pensaba que nos/me costaria tanto en acostumbrarnos a la vida en Austria. Añoramos mucho la familia y los amigos, pues la vida social que teniamos en España. Eran 10 años muy felices de nuestra vida. Y sé que no ha acabado nuestra "mision" en España, asi que ya podeis haceros la idea que volvamos, si os guste o no! :))
Bueno, pues poco a poco estamos acostumbrandonos y haciendo nuevos amigos o recuperamos antiguas amistades. La verdad que todos se toman mucha molestia a que nos quedemos, y nos ayudan en lo que pueden! Gracias a todos!
Como ya sabeis Jose Carlos esta trabajando desde enero, y le va muy bien. Estan contentos con el y esta haciendo muchos amigos. La propietaria de la empresa hasta nos ha invitado a ir con ella a un concierto en abril con ella.
Lorena va a la guarderia y le gusta mucho, parece ya todo mayor. Todavia estraña mucho a sus primos y amigos, y no entiende mucho que tiene que esperar al verano para ir a verles. En julio vamos a España para la boda de nuestra sobrina y estamos ansiosos de ver a todos otra vez!!
Nerea va creciendo muy rapido tambien y habla muchisimo ya. Es una Piñol acabada, hasta tienes ese pito, siempre gritando! :)) Es muy dificil reñirla porque te mira con esos ojos marrones redondos y cuesta mucho quedarte serio.
Ademas estamos encantados con nuestra "Oma y Opa" (abuelos), mis padres, que nos apoyen muchisimo. GRACIAS!

Once again it's time to let you catch up with our lives.
I did not think that it would cost us/me so much to get used to life in Austria. We miss our family and friends a lot, the social life we had in Spain. They were very happy 10 years of our lives. And I know our "mission" in Spain is not yet over, so you can make the idea that we come back, if you like it or not! :))
Well, we are slowly getting used to life here and are making new friends or recovering old ones. The truth is that everyone took alot of trouble for us to stay and help us as they can! Thanks everyone!
As you know Jose Carlos is working since January and is doing very well. They are happy with him and making a lot of friends. The owner of the company even invited us to go with her to a concert in April.
Lorena goes to Kindergarden and loves it, and she seems all grown-up. She still misses her cousins and friends alot doesn't understand much that she has to wait until summer to go to see them. We're going to Spain in July for the wedding of our niece and we are anxious to see everyone again! Nerea is also growing very fast and talks a lot now. She's a Piñol totally, she has that shouting voice! :)) It is very difficult when you scold her and she looks at you with those big brown eyes and it's hard to stay serious.
We are delighted as well with our "Oma and Opa" (grandparents), my parents, who support us soo much. THANKS!
