I'm wondering if it could have been the same coyote both times. I think that when wild animals find a place where they're successful in hunting they will return to that site. I'm glad you're considering moving, Jo. Unless that coyote gets hit by a car or something I wouldn't feel good about another little cutie at your current home (unless you get a concealed yard). I have a friend who has had coyotes walk on the block walls between houses. You'll find the little cutie after you all set up across the street... I'm going to get another dog, too, when the time is right -- about 4 months, I think.
