A New Family

So, here I am reporting from the land which I have come to love, my third home (First, Mexico, then the States and now this one) Deutschland!!!
I arrived yesterday around 11 am (5am NY time) and was received by the wonderful Mertes-Köppen Family. Everyone greeted as if we were life-long friends. I was so happy to receive such a lovely welcome, but in the back of my mind there was you. The two boys, Felix and Linus, quickly took my hand and started chit-chatting non-stop. They quickly proceeded to ask me if I wanted 'Pommes' (french fries) with ketchup and mayo. As tempted as that sounded I had to decline because my flight fed me so many times that I felt that I had gained about ten pounds in a matter of a 6 hours. hehehehe
Felix is the oldest of the 3 children. He is 7 years old and being the oldest he relates very well to me. He was the first of the children to open up to me and make me feel at home. He is very smart and independent. Linus, the second oldest, 4 years old, is a riot. He is very funny and very creative. However, at times a bit moody, but only when he is hungry or very tired. It's typical for any child of his age. He already asked me if I could prepare him his favorite dish.....TORTILLAS!!! Both of the boys are fair skin (but not pale), have beautiful blue-green eyes, and dark blonde hair. Catalina, the youngest of the trio, is 10 months old. She is so adorable and has a very unique beauty. She has one blue eye and one green. I have only met one person like that in my life before; an uncle of mine. Catalina is a very fast learner, and adapts very well to things. She is also very observant of her surroundings.
As for the parents, what can I say? They are marvelous. Isabel is an economist who works at the ECB, where I will intern starting August, and Bernardo is a doctor. They are both young parents and love to travel and discover new cultures and foods (just like me). Bernardo is half Mexican and half German. His childhood years were spent in Mexico City. So, he is very fluent in Spanish, as well as Isabel who studied Spanish in the University. When the children are not around we rather communicate in Spanish rather than German. They have both been very hospitable and welcoming.
