We've been crazy-busy house hunting these past few weeks with Craig home, some highs and some lows. (Particulary an enlightening white-knuckle experience trying to back out of a crazily steep "driveway of death" on a house we had just made an offer on. Yes, we rescinded. Note to self: make sure the Suburban can back out BEFORE deciding it's a dream house!)
The good news is interest rates are low and there are tons of awesome houses on the market in the areas we want to be. Austin has great elementary schools, and we are concentrating the search oon the top four on our list, which are happily close to work and the younger childrens' preschools.
Of course there is still an offer on the table for us to move with my company to DC for two or more years, hmmmmm. Never a dull moment with the Normands!

I did it!
Unbelievably, I covered this office chair all by myself! Ok, so it isn't pretty underneath and who knows how long it will hold up once it is sat upon, but it looks nice for now. I forgot to take a before picture of the ugly patterned brocade that it had, and there was NO way I was going to un-staple it! (Note to self: borrow Monika's staple gun because my office stapler is not the handiest for recovering projects....)
