Kids doing well. Zach has claimed on of Olivia's pacifiers. It's easier for him to gnaw on. I'm surprised that she let him because she has a tremendous emotional attachment to her "paci." When she hasn't had it for a while and then wants it she will search up and down for it. If Elena or I show it to her, she gets a look of such relief and joy like a little addict searching for a fix.

We drove by another house yesterday. We really liked it and have asked for a showing for this one and another. Both are on the edge of Rochester and have a few acres to putter around on.

We watched Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events yesterday too. I liked it. The time period appears to be around the 1920's but people have faxes, pagers, remote car locks and fabulous inventions and architectural anomalies. I think Elena liked it too but not as much as me. I thought that it was going to be one of those movies that was all *bang* *bang* *bang* bad stuff happening and you couldn't catch your breath. One of those exhausting movies like Black Hawk Down. Nope, there were appropriate breaks. Jim Carrey did a great job as the deranged greedy struggling actor/adoptive parent of three newly orphaned wealthy children. Jude Law narrates. Lots of other cameos.
