I visited with a realtor in Norwalk today and she walked me through a new-construction home. I like it; it's a little small, and a little on the expensive side, but it's brand-new AND it has a full basement and a two-car garage. Our goal at this point is to find a "ranch" house, meaning one that has all its bedrooms on the main floor. I don't want Alice to have to climb any more stairs than is completely necessary; right now in our old house, the stairway to the kids' bedrooms is incredibly steep and the stairs very hard and creaky. In a new house it would be nice to finish out part of the basement as a bedroom for Martha so she could have her own private space... plus to have all that space to store stuff out of sight would be helpful! Of course, I'm hoping that, if we do move this summer, we won't take all this crap with us that we've managed to collect over the years.
Anyway, we're still in the talking phase. I liked the realtor we met with today; her brother-in-law and his wife were Alice's foster parents here in the US back when she was 20 months old. We keep in touch with them every so often; they are precious people and did a great deal of work with special-needs foster babies. Anyway, the realtor was also a very nice lady and I wouldn't mind working with her.
Okay, it's major late and I'm totally comatose. I still have a paper to turn in for my class, but I'm going to take my laptop to school tomorrow and hopefully finish it then. I so wish that school had a wi-fi setup.
