Home Sweet Home

We're home! The last week has been long, tiring and at times quite stressful but we're here now and mostly settled. I owe a huge thanks to a few people for their help over the last week. And so that brings us to the (last ever) Acosta Family Moving Awards!

Please give a round of applause to....

1. The Best Use of Psycho-manipulation on Sellers award goes proudly goes to my dear father for convincing the previous owners to let us in before we were legally supposed to. Granted, they were supposed to be out 12 hours earlier and stayed at least two hours after the house was ours but it saved us the extra expense of paying the movers to hold our stuff. Thanks Poppy. I knew that shrink stuff would come in handy some day.
2. The Super Brave Toilet Cleaner award goes to Abuelita. Not only did she drive by herself to our new house but she fearlessly tackled dirty toilets everywhere to ensure we could all pee with a clear conscience. Muchas gracias Abuelita.
3. The Above and Beyond the Cleaning Call of Duty award goes to Angelica for driving all the way up here to the North Pole after a really long day battling RNA strands just to wipe out really dirty cabinets and help my dad find sheets for his bed. I owe you big time.
4. The Super Duper Baby Proofer award goes to my father-in-law for not only securing every cabinet, drawer and outlet in this house but for also figuring out how to install baby gates to banisters at very tricky angles. Nobody is getting past you Abuelito!
5. The Honestly the Smartest One in the Bunch award goes to Nana. She took the kid and skipped town. Seriously, why didn't I think of that? Thanks for showing Caleb a little bit of Oz and lots of love and attention. And yes, we totally credit you for his new found ability to say "no" and "mine".
6. The Wow, I'm So Lucky to be Married to You award goes to Juan. He worked his butt off to get us here and settled. I love you dude. Thanks for being such an amazing Da and husband. And also for fixing the garage door openers. That is VERY appreciated.

In summary, we're here, we're settled and we're so very happy to be starting this next chapter in our lives. Want to see pictures? Look here. Want to come and visit? Come on!
