Not bad, eh? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As you can imagine, it\u00b4s been a bit chaotic (or a lot). But I'm a lot less worried about that these days.

We improvised a lot, and we also laughed a lot, as it couldn\u00b4t be any other way. Thanks a million to Grampa Carlos for putting up with us all, to our \"German\" cousins Carlos (sr), Lourdes, Carlos (jr), Yago, Alonso and Celia, and of course, to our \"Irish\" cousins from <a href=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/en\/2024\/08\/05\/primos\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/binarywords.com\/es_es\/2024\/08\/05\/primos\/\">Oranmore<\/a>.
