Happy Halloween - it's not too late, right?

Belle & Iron Man had a great Halloween.  Sorry I'm tardy!




Charlotte decorated a pumpkin at the school party! 
Charlotte's friend dressed up as Beast, but she was reluctant to be photographed with him!

SOLD!

It sold!  The burned out house on Francis Avenue sold!  Woo hoo!

It was purchased by a landlord who turns houses like that one.  We closed last week and we're entirely out.
Finished.  Done.

Hallelujah!

More about the house on Francis

Just a quick update here:  We put the house up for sale with realtor who sells homes like ours.  With only two weeks on the market it sold!!  Hooray.  However, while waiting for the payoff of the mortgage to be recorded, the thugs came back again.  Yes.  They ripped the plywood off the back window and stole 100' of 1/2" copper pipe.  Jon estimates they got $10 for what they stole.  But, now our buyers are spooked and, since the house isn't in the condition it was when they signed the paperwork, they can back out.  It infuriates me to think about this.  Stay away from my house!!!  We'll see what happens next.

Three!



My Charlotte turned three today!  I can hardly believe it since she acts like she's at least 15 years old.  She's my mini me complete with a love of hair, nails and skin products, she loves to dance and wears high heels with her pajamas.  Oh, I love this child.  She's a handful, but I get her.  She's precocious, smart and sassy.

Last weekend we shared a birthday party with cousin Elise.  Elise turned two.  What fun!  We gave Charlotte a baby doll and she - all on her own - named her Lucy.  I love it!  To my knowledge she doesn't know anyone named Lucy.  I don't know of a movie character or book that it's in.  However, it's my late great-grandmother's name, so it's special.

I love you, Charlotte.  Happy third!
