For Halloween we had a kitty cat (4th year running), a Darth Vader, and a Jengo Fett (don't ask me what that is ---- it's some Star Wars creature). We went back to our old neighborhood to trick or treat there. Everyone had a great time this year, especially me since I was sitting on my neighbor's couch drinking a glass of wine. 
Laura Kate's 3rd birthday is today. As usual, it seems hard to believe how quickly the years go by. We had the good fortune of being able to celebrate with both sets of grandparents last weekend, and to continue the celebration through today. She has truly enjoyed being the birthday girl for a full week. In fact, when we met some of our new neighbors today and they asked her what her name is, she jumped up and hollered: "Birthday Girl!" Last weekend was our big move. We are getting settled bit by bit. Mom and Dad were here and were a huge help; I don't know how it all would've happened without them. Dave's parents and his brother and sister-in-law also came to help, along with several of our friends; we were grateful for all the helping hands. Mom did all the clean up at the old house, too, so I didn't have to do any sad goodbyes - just left in time to meet the cable guy here at the new house and never looked back. I am not sure where we kept all this stuff in our old house - but I am glad to have a little more space in the new place. Finally, all my wedding crystal has seen the light of day after 10 years in a box! And, I can already tell that this house is easier on my cranky old joints. Ben met some neighborhood kids today, which eased some of anxieties (his and mine). So far, I think we are all settling in quite well. As Laura Kate puts it, "I not need my nother house no more."
Love to all of you. Come visit us in West Saint Paul. Love,
Molly & fam
