Halloween


We went to a pumpkin patch over the weekend to get our Halloween experience nicely captured on camera. It was a really cute place, but Ryan wasn't thrilled. I was grateful we were able to get a few pictures out of him before he wasn't in the mood any more. Isn't he cute?!

My little Astro fan



Ryan sported his Astro's gear the night we beat the Cards. Isn't he adorable?! However, it has done us no good against the White Sox. We continue to hope, but it is looking as though we shall be swept out of the World Series. How very sad for us. As Alex put it, 'Baseball hurts me in the feelings sometimes.' How very aptly put, Alex.


Ryan now enjoys his jumparoo, and I just couldn't help but take a picture of him in it, sporting his new halloween costume. Its supposed to be a dinosaur, but I think it resembles more of a frilled lizard.

WE WON!!

So, now I have something to gloat about! Who knew they could pull it off? Even if we lose the World Series, this is still a first for Houston. We even had Ryan decked out in his Astros gear. I am convinced that's what did it. He was very enthusiastic (for being 3 1/2 months).

More than anything right now, our life is revolving around teeth. Ryan has begun his journey to a mouthful of teeth, and he's hating life right now (and therefore, so am I). He hasn't slept well, he has a constant fist in his mouth, and cries non-stop. We have done motrin, tylenol, baby orajel, and teething tablets. We've also done the fingertip toothbrush massage, all to no avail. My friend Jill recommended rubbing some whiskey on his gums and the bottom of his feet. You know, if it doesn't get better soon, I just might try it. But it seems weird to be giving my son alcohol when he's 21 years away from being legal. I know thousands upon thousands have grown up with this old wives' fix, but its not one that I am particulary fond of. So we will see how today goes....

As soon as I get the new pics uploaded, I will show him off again. He's so cute, even when he's cranky.

Astros

Hopefully the Astros will finish this whole thing tonight. And no, I have not called the Yu's in St.Louis because, as an Astros fan, I know not to call and gloat until we truly have something to gloat about. As was shown on Monday night, the Astros tend to choke at the end. I mean, COME ON! They had 2 outs, 2 strikes, top of the 9th, and we give it away.

OK, so I still haven't figured out how to get a picture to my profile. I know how to post without hello to our usual blogs, but how to get a URL? Jennie told me I needed picture bucket, or some such. There has to be a better way. If not, I guess I'll deal with it.

Well, less than 2 hours to game time. Let's see what happens.

HELP

Ok, I am very computer illiterate; I have downloaded hello to upload a picture for my profile, but where do I get the URL to post it? I can't figure it out, and I am getting ticked off. Please help me, please!
