November already?

Okay...its been a while since I posted. So much has happened...not really sure where to begin.
We have a new addition to our family!! Her name is Mia and she is a little Boxer pup! I will post pics of her tonight! She has been such a delight to have around and Hailey and I are constantly cracking up at her. She is starting puppy school this weekend..that ought to be interesting :)
We made it through Halloween. Hailey was a vampress and we had a wonderful time tromping through the neighborhood last night. Today she is recovering from a sugar high (more like overdose) :).
Okay ...now the bad news...
Last night when we got back from trick-or-treating I walked upstairs and there was an incredible musty or moldy smell! I have had sooooo many issues with my home that sometimes I feel like just burning the darn thing down! A couple of months ago it was not one, but TWO water leaks! The second one caused us to have to tear up part of the ceiling in the kitchen....which is still a gaping hole because I know the second I get someone out to patch up the drywall it will inevitably start leaking again!!! Now this smell....I looked and looked everywhere and can't figure out where it is coming from. I am so afraid that there is yet ANOTHER leak and we just have not yet found it yet....
okay...I feel better now. I am hoping to get to the torch tonight. I will let you know what wonderful creations come from the kiln soon!!
Have a great November first day!!!
