i am typing one-handed since kate is being clingy. pardon the errors.

did our home inspection today. looks good.

the best part? watching isaac run and hop around the lot yelling "i'm playing outside!" (it's not like we don't try to go outside to play...) i think all this craziness will be worth it.

...Is fun to do. (Fun to do, fun to do. Sing it with me all you primary teachers) It's been a little bit since we posted about our prospects of finding a home. We have been really trying to look at anything that might possibly work for us. We've seen lots of really nice houses - read "expensive." We've also seen ones that we could definitely afford, but didn't like. To date we have made 6 offers. 3 of those are a definite no. Of the 3 remaining homes, one is a short sale so we don't necessarily expect to hear something for months, but we thought we'd throw our hat in. Another was listed for far more than anything comparable around it so we offered what the houses comparable to it are selling for. (Not really sure if that will go anywhere.) Last of all, there is a bank-owned property that we are hoping will work out. Of the ones we've looked at, I think we like this one the most. Right now we are just hoping for "the planets to align" and see if it will work out. We've had some great things come about that may help us get it, but the bank has to accept our offer. We have just under 3 weeks until we move out of our place so we're keeping our fingers crossed.
