Fiesta in Hull

My in-laws arrived on the Fourth of July.  We didn't do much to celebrate the Fourth, but we had to get them settled into my Dad's place in Hull where they were staying.

On Friday, Carla (and Carlos) organized a party in Hull to celebrate Isabella's birthday.  She turned 3!  Her last visit to Boston, she was just a few months old!  My poor Auntie Mimi got a flat on the way to Hull, so she and Nana spent the afternoon at Herb Chambers.  I had to leave with the boys before they arrived.  And all the food she had worked so hard to cook spoiled in the heat.  I felt terrible for her.

The whole family--too bad it's so washed out.

After I left, the whole family went to the beach.  The boys and I missed a great time for the sake of their schedule/bath/bottle/bedtime.

The girls playing in the water with my dad.  

I'm back!

It's been a busy couple of weeks, and I've missed blogging!  I'm back--hopefully!  My in-laws have been here since July 4, so we've been pretty busy.  I'll do a whole other post with photos from the baptism, which was July 8, if I can get the pictures from his family.  Sadly, I was so busy with the boys that I didn't take single photo myself!

So this post will mostly be a dumping ground for recent pictures.  Then, I'll write more later about the baptism and in-laws' visit.

Adrian's face looks so fat here!

My chunky monkeys

Both boys can hold their own bottles now

This is one of my favorite pictures of Adrian

Adrian asleep in his car seat at Isabel and Dave's party.  He actually fell asleep grabbing his toe.

Michelle babysat for us when we went to Charlie's wedding at Harvard.  Our first night out since the boys came home!

They look alike in this picture!  Carlos had just had a water gun fight...

Adrian's car at daycare.  He's learning to drive to pick up chicks!

Adrian nestled on Carlos

He's going to be trouble...

Adrian asleep at daycare.  Look at his feet crossed!

DO YOU THINK THESE BOYS ARE TEETHING??!?!?! (No teeth yet, though!)

At the park in Post Office Square.  The boys are registered at the Mexican Consulate now.
