But I'll make an effort to focus my attention elsewhere. Like on our cute little trick-or-treaters:
That's our little pepper, and our little princess! We made it to six houses before Sofia was cold and tired, and Erik was asleep. Sofia has plenty of candy, though, as people tend to be generous with candy in Frederick -- no one-Tootsie-Roll stops here.
... And how's the house coming along? Well, not as fast as either Dave or I would like, but there's progress nearly every day. Last weekend Dave and his Dad got some wiring done. Two nights ago Dave got the screen door on the addition. (Did you know screen doors don't come with storm windows -- you have to buy those separately? That seemed a fairly integral part of the door, to my mind, but apparently the door makers have figured out how to work the system.)
And a week ago Friday Dave finished the railing on the stairs:
Today Dave worked on getting the ladder off the roof, which he accomplished with no broken bones or windows, something we can all be thankful for. (It had been up there since they installed the chimney, and he'd left it for a while in case adjustments had to be made.) He also gathered some firewood. Winter is coming ...
... Erik was baptized last Sunday, and we had a family picture taken, which hasn't happened since Amara and Erik have been around. Dave's dad, Don, gets the photo credit for this one. Dave's mom, Mary, gets credit for getting Erik (and the other girls) to smile for the photo.
