"Ruadh gu brath!"*

Yep, he's still a redhead. Unprecedented on both sides of the family though Sasha has heard a rumor that Grandma Annie Beard was a strawberry blond as a girl...

July is a nice month in Mexico City. For one thing, it just isn't very hot. In fact, it is easy to forget it is even summer here. If anything, it has been getting a little cooler and raining more often.

But it has been hot other places. Like in Italy where the Solis family was recently vacationing. Our niece Valeria managed to keep her cool when she saw her all-time fave actor walking down the street:

Never underestimate the power of the eyebrow.

No celebrities here in Mexico though, as an aside, Jessica Alba's baby was born on the same day as Ivan. Much cooler, we think, is that Ivan also shares his birthday with the future drumming phenom and all-around coolest lady in Boston, Amy Todeschini.

To sum things up around here, Sergio's been working overtime filling in for bosses that have jumped ship for Jamaica, Vietnam, and the like. And so far being the "acting deputy-jefe" seems to agree with him.

Meanwhile, Sasha is having a blast back at the home office where she has found the magic of the Baby Bjorn baby carrier.

Freedom!

And when she is back at the apartment, she gets to hang out with little Ivan and watch him perfect his baby moves. Future coolest guy in school?

He winks!

He shoots guns!

He dances upside down!

And when he got the news that his best-buddy JAMES ALAN MACPHEE was born in New Orleans last week, he smiled.

CONGRATS MAURA AND CAMERON!
