Pumpkin Patch

Big day for Og today. Met up with some friends at the chilly Farmer's Market. Then had a nap on the stroll home. Then Christie and Shane came over and we all went to the McCall's Pumpkin Patch. After hunting for pumpkins and cruising through the corn maize, we headed to the Sierra Blanca Brewery down the road in Moriarty. It just so happens that they were hosting an Octoberfest celebration, so we caught a live band, threw some horseshoes, and downed some cheap microbrews.

Here are some pics:

Trip to the Springs

We threw Ogden in the car seat and headed up to Colorado Springs to spend the Columbus Day weekend with Aunt Cyndee. Highlights included getting a free mini-pumpkin at the farmer's market, kickin' back some amber ale at a brewpub, and learning the family history from his 1st-cousin-twice-removed.

Balloon Fiesta

One of Albuquerque's more redeeming qualities is the annual balloon fiesta. It's so great to wake up before sun-up, grab some Flying Star coffee, and make your way up north to the balloon park. While there, nothing gets you more in the mood for balloons than green chile breakfast burritos. Oggie had a great time checking out all the special shapes. Here are some pics:

Balloon Fiesta!

A Day at the Park

At our new place we're now only 4 blocks away from the zoo. There's a great little park there, so we took the Og-man and crashed a random birthday party.

 
 

9 Months!

Here's Oggie at 9 months! Wow, he's got 8 teeth in now, with #9 threatening to come out. Mom's been giving him a whole bunch of new foods to eat, and he's finding that his potty is more accomodating than his FuzziBunz. He's almost walking, and shedding those pounds by staying continually on the run.

 
 

Austin!

Here are some shots from Og's latest trip to Austin. Og's favorite part: fighting the 100,000-person crowd at a 3-day music festival for a prime spot to sit and pull at the grass. Oh, and hanging out at Barton Springs and the UT campus were fun, too.

Whose Toes?

 

Aunt Cyndee's!
 

Aunt Cyndee drove down to help pack up our old place and watch Ogden grow teeth. Stay tuned for pics for a forthcoming visit to Colorado Springs.

7.5 Months!

So I snapped these birthday-suit photos of Og at 7.5 months. These last couple months have been crazy, we're now living in a condo in downtown Albuquerque. The move was less than smooth, but we're all here and happy. Once Og cleans his room, I'll take a bunch of pics of his new domicile. So there's the excuse for not updating.
