ditch it

all smiles with Mama

Today we traveled to a local pumpkin patch. We entered the drive, observed that there wasn't anyone else there, eyed the line of pumpkins along that drive, and left. It was nearing the golden hour, the weather was mild, and I was itching to take some photos after several days of dreary rain. We drove to a home that usually has pumpkins for sale, and they didn't have anything out this year. Oh no! The our golden hour time was running out, so we went to a nearby park to see what we could come up with. Who would have thought that my favorite photos involved letting Hannah walk and crawl down a cement drainage ditch? I didn't get any pumpkin photos today, but I do love the ones from the ditch! I'll be posting photos here on my photography blog as I work on them.

This week Hannah called out "Papa" to my dad. He's really digging that, and especially likes it because Hannah hasn't said "Nana" yet. Nana is hard at work to remedy the situation and with enough bribes healthy encouragement I'm sure Hannah will be saying "Nana" very soon.

Kevin took a great video this week of his first "conversation" with Hannah. I won't post it because it contains shots of nakey buns in the bathtub, but it is SO funny. I think I've watched it 50 times on my phone. Here's the text from the conversation.

K: Where's Hannah?
H: Hannah (laying down in the tub) sticks her head up to peek at Kevin.
K: Hi, Hannah. Where's Hannah? Hey, you. Are you ready to get up?
H: Na.
K: (laughs) No?
H: Yeah.
K: There's no water in your tub. Are you ready to get up?
H: No.
K: No? Do you want to get dried off?
H: Na.
K: Ok. Hannah, are you ready to get up?
H: No.
K: No?
H: No!!!
K: You're lucky you're cute. Hannah, let's get up.
H: No.
K: Do you want to stay in the tub and play?
H: Yeah.
K: Yeah. Ok. Well, I'll leave you to it then. Bye bye.
H: Na. Na. (Big cheesy smile.)

  3. Love that outfit!! We have a decent pumpkin patch in Wabash if you ever want to meet up with us. They have a hay ride, straw and corn maze, pumpkins, fire pit, snack shop, craft shop, some donkeys and pygmy goats. We go every year. If you look at my blog you will see some pics the last few years from there. I know there are bigger, cuter ones, but we like this one!!

  5. KB, Yeah... I think we're back into the swing of real life. Wish I had a personal chef to cook me fruit crepe every day and someone to launder clothes that my grubby kid pikes on. ;) I still have that coat that we STOLE from your house that I need to mail back to you. Will print a pic of HC with it when I mail it back!
