The Blanchards in Cordoba, Argentina: Our house

Finally updating with pictures of the house.

So, it is a 3 bedroom, 2full bath, and 2 half bath house. I'll take outside pictures later and post them another time because right now, there are people in the park across the street.

I'll start with the back yard. It is a decent size backyard with a pool, grass, and some plants/trees. We moved here just as winter was ending, so we've been watering the grass and slowly it is getting greener. They are having a big drought problem here, so it is going to take awhile. We have palm trees with some sort of fruit on them that the possums like to eat at night. It is getting pretty hot, so I'm excited that we will be able to use the pool soon. The garage has an awning that opens up to provide shade to the patio area and the doors completely open, so we can entertain in that space as well.

Next, there is the living room. This is Liam's terror zone as daily it is covered in cracker crumbs, paper towels, and toys. The suitcase at the end contains most of his toys for now. He likes to climb in and out of it, so I suppose it is a toy in and of itself. It is a pretty big living room, and it looks pretty funny since we only have a leather loveseat in there right now. More to come in time. The entertainment system is built into the wall.

We have a half bath at the bottom of the stairs

The next room is the dining room, which as you can see, we haven't used at all! In the next couple of weeks we will be buying a dining table and chairs.

The kitchen is a good size with a lot of storage. Everything here is gas, so that has taken a little bit to get used to. There have been quite a few overcooked dinners in the first couple of weeks!

The garage is more of an extra living room than an actual garage. It is part of the house and has another half bath plus additional storage. There are doors from both the kitchen and dining room that enter into the garage. The rectangular thing at the end of the garage that is built into the wall is the grill (parilla). Bill is going to try to fire it up sometime in the next week or so!

Then we go upstairs (2 small flights that Liam loves to climb up when we let him). The first full bathroom is Liam's and he LOVES his bathtub and bidet (but we don't let him play in that!).

Then there is his room, which is full of toys and a sleeping monkey. We found him a crib and are buying it this week. Wasn't easy to track one down!

Then it is Bill's office and Bill in his natural element.

Our room is quite big and has a small balcony overlooking the backyard. Will be nice on warm spring/summer nights to sit out there with a glass of wine and Bill. We have a TON of closet space, which I can always make use of. Sink is outside the second full bathroom, which is pretty convenient.
