Last Friday (9/6/08), John's aunt Nereyda and uncle Pepe flew in from Florida. Nereyda is the sister of Nayda and Nila (my MIL), and she is so sweet. Although she's talked to Reagan on the phone and she's seen pictures of the girls, this was the first time she had met both Reagan and Avery!

We ordered take out from Sanducci's (on Kinderkamack in River Edge) and enjoyed quite the buffet! You might notice that John is wearing a different shirt in this picture than in the first picture with Pepe ... that's because he and Pepito were the two who braved "Tropical Storm Hanna" to pick up our food! The rain that night was crazy, coming down in buckets, along with some intense winds. I can't believe I didn't take a picture of it. Most people in this area didn't go out that night, since the news advised everyone to hunker down and avoid going out into the storm.
When it was time for dessert, Maribel made Reagan an ice cream cone. Here she is, doing her silly "Cheese" face. This expression is really the result of my camera constantly being in her face ... when I push the button halfway down for it to focus, it shines a red light in her face which causes her to squint her eyes.
I caught Joaquin snatching strawberries and cream puffs!
Joaquin was loving it, letting Maribel balance a dinosaur on his head. When it would fall off, he'd crack up laughing.
For each student's birthday last year, Ms. Lisa gave them an adorable hand-made bag with this ABC coloring book that fits perfectly inside ... it also has 8 slots that each hold a crayon. It's the ideal item for a diaper bag, since you never know when you'll need something to keep a toddler busy! Joaquin swiped the coloring book out of our diaper bag and was obsessed with it most of the night! It took a lot of coaxing for Maribel to get it out of his hands as we were leaving.
