By the way, does anyone know the rules for selling your own home? Do you write up your own contract and stuff or what?

I know that you can buy the contracts to sell your home at office supply stores. Pull out the one you used when you bought the house and see how it compares. Your house is darling, and I don't think you'll have any trouble moving it at all.
How much is it to go through a realtor? Where are you moving? A bigger house obviously, with number of kids going up to three by the summer :) Your house is really cute though...and it's a nice neighborhood (from what I could tell :P), shouldn't be much trouble selling it
My trusty realtor of a husband knows all about it! Feel free to give him a call, he'd be glad to help you with any questions. (You can get his # from Katie if you want it.)
How fun to be moving to a new home!
My one tip for cleaning your grout--use Mr. Clean Magic Erasers. You'll wear through them pretty easily because it's a tough surface, but nothing cleans grout better (well, that I've tried anyway). Good luck with your list!
