Mark and I are moving (again, third time in three years) in May! Our current townhome is a little too small for us, the baby, and the dogs, but more importantly, it's right on a major road, which I didn't want with a baby. So, we're moving to a lovely little Cape Cod-style home about 3 miles away.
We are both very excited about the house. The biggest perk, I think, is that it has a fully fenced back yard. Not only will the dogs love the new places to roam and sniff, but it will be great for Beansprout beginning next spring. The owners have a child swing attached to a tree in the yard, and I think I'll get one for Beansprout. We're also going to buy a grill for cookouts, and we may get outdoor speakers.
The other major benefit of this house is that it's in a great neighborhood. One thing I miss about the South is the lack of true neighborhoods up here--with community centers, playgrounds, and pools. This neighborhood doesn't have a pool, but it does have a community center, a playground for kids, and walking trails. I love the sense of community.
The house has all wood floors, which I was looking for, three bedrooms, and a finished basement. The only thing missing from my "dream wish list" is a screened porch! Eventually I'll get one, but for now, I am thrilled that we get to turn this house into Beansprout's first home.
