House Hunting

And so it's that time again.....time for us to move.  Our two year lease is up this coming July in Stamford and while we tried to get an extension from our landlord he wasn't having it.  He wants to sell it which means we have to vacate and Scott doesn't want us moving in the middle of summer and two weeks before baby #3 is set to arrive.  Smart.  

My Dad came up to help watch the kids while Scott and I started our search.  We decided to start in Fairfield County (since the market seemed to have more options for us than in Westchester County) and if we didn't see anything we liked we'd wait a little while to see if better options appeared in NY.

After an afternoon spent looking at 7 or 8 homes in Greenwich, we found one that we felt was acceptable and worked for our family.  We were able to get out of our lease early, so we move into our new place the end of May.  I better start packing!

Technically our new home is in Old Greenwich, not Greenwich.  Greenwich has a few different subsets within in.  In the entire town of Greenwich, there is Old Greenwich, Greenwich, Cos Cob and Riverside.  From what we have already experienced, people get very upset if you aren't specific about what exactly area of Greenwich you live in.  

Our new place has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms a fenced in yard and a playground!

Katie is completely in love with him.

So is this two-toes sloth my Dad met while vacationing recently.

After we finalized our new home we took Mikey to the playground at what will be his new school.  Where he and I both met some new people who were very nice and welcoming.

Our new home for the next two years.
