Early Halloween festivities

So my computer is driving me crazy. About a week and a half ago, it decided that half of the hard drive was failing, and that I should back up immediately. So I worked like crazy to move everything over to the new external drive that Jeremy went out and got very late one evening, and now I sit here and wait. Sometimes it works like nothing every happened, and sometimes it completely spazzes out and can't find any of the graphics it needs to open any programs. I'm glad it's still working some, (especially since we finally got the internet connected to it) but the waiting and wondering is killing me. I guess I should just be glad it's lasting for now, since we don't get our next student loan check for a few weeks.
Today was interesting. Reilly ended up having to have a bath very shortly after he woke up, which seemed to have put him in a grumpy mood. I tried to get him to take just one nap today instead of two. He's not quite ready for that, I decided. There was a Halloween party at Palmer today, and Reilly was an elephant. He did rather well, considering his attitude today, and how he was probably tired. I'm married to the coolest guy in the world. I didn't feel very good by the time we got home and he made me lie down and wouldn't let me off the couch for an hour and a half while he basically cleaned up the whole downstairs (kitchen and living room). This included cleaning out the fridge, which I've been putting off, cause there were some SCARY things in there needing to be thrown away. Then he went to open lab (he has a practical tomorrow, followed by finals all of next week) and I put Reilly down, and here I am. I need to finish this and get to bed...
(Here he is in his nice little zip-up elephant costume that we got for like $1.25. I'm working on another one, but this one's so easy, he might wear it for one or two other Halloween experiences...)

One Year Down, So Many to Go

So my "baby" is officially a toddler. Last Thursday Reilly turned 1 and we had a rather large party for such a little boy. It started out as a slight disaster, because everything kind of crashed at once at the beginning, but the rest of it was nice. He got a lot of fun presents, and enjoyed his cake. (Though clean-up wasn't the most fun in the world...) I can't believe he's this old - he's walking around so much, and learns new things almost every day, it seems.
Jeremy's parents were here all last week, and his mom really helped by making all the food for his party. He enjoyed having his grandparents here a lot. I'm looking forward to my mom coming to visit in about a week and a half.
Yesterday Jeremy skipped all his afternoon classes and we went to the Nauvoo temple instead. It was a 7.5 hour trip, and all we did was initiatory, but it was still nice to go. Reilly behaved himself as well as he can in such situations, and even slept in the car some on the way back. Quite amazing. :)
I'll be 28 weeks pregnant on Friday... pretty crazy. I'm way excited for the holiday season and all the visits we have coming, and cooler weather, and Jeremy's long break in a few weeks. That's all for now!
