Three cool chicks.Once we bought the house in San Rafael, it became known as "the new house." After the move, our home on Caselli suddenly became "the old house." We quickly spruced up the old house and got it on the market a couple weeks after we moved out. Lucky for us, we had multiple offers and got into contract immediately. On June 1st, the deal was done and the old house became a new house to someone else. While we are so happy to no longer have two mortgages and to have sold the house with very little drama, we are sad to say goodbye to our very first home. We have five years of happy memories centering around our little Victorian on the hill. We've been surrounded by a wonderful community of people there and we've loved sharing our home with our family, friends, and with little Maya. Here is a tribute to this special place. We will miss you!

Kearsley found a cat in the garage that day. A good omen.
The backyard as we found it.
We groomed the backyard, including a weekend of demolition when Kearsley destroyed the koi pond/raccoon swimming pool, and replaced the step.
