We're Moving!!

Yes, you read the title right! And no, this is not an old post from a couple of years back. We're really moving......yes again! We're happily staying in Falls Church, only this time, we were FINALLY able to find something in the actual City of Falls Church which we're really happy about. "Why? Why, are you moving AGAIN? You JUST bought that house!" I know, Dad, I know. You're totally right; we haven't even lived in this house for two years yet! However, with the recent addition to the family(Baby Nico), a new nanny and my folks staying for extended visits, we quickly realized that we needed more space, fast.
So over the last several years we've moved....well...several times. And the funny thing is, all three have been within like a mile of each other! This one will hopefully be "the one" for a while....well at least longer than two years!;) We’re really psyched about being in the City of FC. What a difference a little line in the sand can make! Did you know that the City of Falls Church became an independent City in 1948 led by parents determined to improve the quality of local schools? Well now you do! Our local high school, George Mason, is ranked #41 nationally, not too shabby! It's #3 in VA and I’m not too sure where the #2 school is....where's berryville? The #1 Va school is some sort of magnet school, so that doesn't count. They have some sort of wacky lottery to enroll! Stupid nerds. Anyway, another cool thing is that the elementary school is at the end of the street! So that'll make it really easy to get Livvy to and from and a great place to play on the weekends. Also, there’s a lot going on blocks away at the “FC City Center”. I’ll report on that in future posts. It’s quickly become a small obsession of mine! And I’ve recently come to find that part of it involves…..The Lessard Group, that’s right Joe. We’re gonna need to talk.
Anyway, I'll post more pics as construction continues and of course upon completion. Keep in mind there's still a lot that needs to be done to the exterior, the weather has not been too cooperative as of late! But some additions include, mahogany front porch and steps with detailed craftsman style mill and lattice work, stone along the front and surroundings as well as the garage entry and up the drive, sod, trees and landscaping and ah yes, a garage door too;)
