WE'VE MOVED!

Well, I finally have internet connection and about two seconds to upload some pictures. We moved into our new house last Tuesday and we are having a great time settling in and making it our home. Diego and Alexia are as happy as can be and are doing great. Diego is sleeping in a big boy bed and LOVES it. He fell out of it three times the first night, but hasn't fallen out since then.


Ricardo's dear sister, Maria Jose came up from Miami last weekend to help us pack, move and take care of the kids. She was an enormous help. She departed on Wednesday and my mom arrived that night to help me get settled in since Ricardo was out of town until Friday. She did so much work around the house and was also an enormous help.

Alexia is crawling!!!! She is now a very busy girl and we can't let her leave our sight for a second because she is also mischievous. Yesterday I fished a magnet out of her mouth and the previous day it was a piece of aluminum foil. She is getting her two front teeth which has made for some sleepless nights, but overall she is being a champ with the teething.

I have to get back to unpacking, but wanted to leave you with some shots of our first days here!


MOVING DAY!!!!


We've had a special bottle of champagne that we've been saving for a couple of years and we finally got to open it!!!


This is what happens when you decide to cook the first meal in the new house. Ricardo had to open the can of tomatoes with a screwdriver and hammer! Take-out pizza would've been a more practical option, but we sure had a delicious meal.


Alexia's first meal was on the floor, surrounded by boxes and clutter


Diego's first ride in his bike in the new garden - he is in heaven! He calls it the park.



Helping Grammie put weather-protectant on the picnic table




He was really into "painting" with his brush.


The finished result. We had a wonderful first BBQ!




We were testing the alarm and Diego sat like this for about two minutes after the last test alarm. He wanted us to set it off over and over


Alexia has now discovered the wonders of the tupperware cabinet. She loves to pull out all of it's contents and play - a great way to keep her busy for a long time!
