Big Mike is rowing his heart out in Boston -- good luck, gents! Char and I miss him like crazy but are managing to have a lot of mommy/daughter fun. Lyra took us over to a used clothing store this afternoon and we found most of the elements for Char's Bellatrix costume. Bellatrix is a very naughty witch from the Harry Potter series in case you've been under a rock for the last few years. It promises to be a perfect Halloween!
