Congratulations! Please welcome 5 year old twin boys from Spain! Octavia and Tasha will be able to communicate with them easily, and so will Mollie and James because Carlos and Felipe have been learning English at their old school in Spain. The fraternal twins' middle names are Henio (for Carlos) and Rio (for Felipe). Both of the twin's parents died on their honeymoon cruise as the boat sank. At that point, Carlos and Felipe were 3, so ever since then they have been living in the children's care home. I am sure that the girls, especially Tasha, will get on wonderfully with the boys. Please keep us informed for a short while about how they are coping with sudden change in their lives.

It has been 12 months since Carlos and Felipe joins the Presleys and they have flourished!
Both children were understandably quiet and unsure when they first came to England; their time in the care home meant they weren't where they should be in their emotional development and they struggled to communicate in either Spanish or English.
But now they're bouncy, happy 6 year old chaps who love school and are making amazing progress. Mollie and James are still super keen for Carlos and Felipe to keep learning Spanish so in addition to the short lessons during schooling, they go to Spanish classes once a week. Alongside Octavia and Tasha, the twins also take up swimming lessons - the first time they've been swimming - and have recently taken up football too.
Octavia and Tasha have taken well to their new brothers, they have gone into Tasha's class at school and she is very proud to tell everybody that they are her brothers while on the playground Octavia is fiercely protective of the quiet, Spanish boys. The school have been amazing in making Carlos and Felipe to feel welcome from putting Spanish labels around the classroom to covering adoption in their PSHE curriculum.
The family is looking forward to many more happy years raising their four beautiful children.
