busy busy

There are reasons for the lack of posting and pictures lately, but I can't say too much at the moment. We are in the midst of changes here in the Bledsoe house, exciting changes!! There are a lot of things going on and little time for blogging. I will give you more details soon!

20 dollar Pumpkins

Saturday we took a quick trip to a Pumpkin/Christmas Tree farm in Gilbert, SC. It was a really nice day for a drive (plus UT was not playing :) ), and I was hoping to get some pretty/yummy pumpkins and also some good pictures. Well, we did get a few good pictures, but it was super crowded and the majority of the time we were just trying to keep Hannah from being trampled. Once we let her out of the stroller, there's no going back. On our way out, I went to pick out a pumpkin and was completely shocked to see the price...for a normal size pumpkin....$20.00!!! We didn't get a pumpkin and I don't think we'll be going back to get a Christmas tree...I can't even imagine! There was a small "petting zoo" with deer, ducks, peacocks, turkeys, and a donkey...we didn't do any "petting", but Hannah did like watching the birds. So, I'm hoping to get a better deal at the Farmer's Market tomorrow on pumpkins and also get a good Fall family shot of all 3 of us at some point. :)

20 Dollars!!

Hannah Dancing

Hannah's has always been a wiggler, but now she's learning to really dance. Believe it or not, we do like to break out into a little dance party on occasion. So Hannah's has picked up some of our moves....we are not great dancers as you can see, but Hannah looks cute anyways.

Pictures from the weekend

We had some special visitors this weekend, which we always love to have! Jim and Debbie came for a quick visit to spend some time with us and miss Hannah. Hannah has been wanting to spend every waking minute outside, so that's what we've been doing. We put her to work with a rake and a shovel... :)

Time outside

Hannah is back to her healthy self, finally... it seems like her colds linger on and on. So we've been enjoying some new adventures outside to the neighborhood playground. She obeys really well, for the most part, inside our house and when we run errands, but since she's started to walk, going outside is a whole new world for her and she does not like boundaries. She toddles straight for the street. Luckily we live in cul-de-sac and don't have much traffic to worry about, but we still don't want her going in the street without holding our hand. So we're working on setting new boundaries outside like we did inside and having her obey. Which is a lot harder now with her new independence (walking). Same for the playground...she does not listen to me like she does in our house so I may have given her too much freedom at once. It's a work in progress and as you can see in one of the pictures, she sat down in the one and only tiny puddle in the corner of the playground before I could grab her. She didn't seem to mind...








We've been trying to enjoy the weather as much as possible! We took Hannah outside while Matt and I threw some football (which I'm surprisingly good at) and we thought Hannah would run around the yard and we would run around with her, but instead she sat on her little blanket and would watch us and read her books we brought outside. It was so cute. When I went to pick her up from childcare at the gym yesterday, she was hanging out by the new bookshelf they had and was flipping through the books like a little book worm. She does seem to do her own thing when around other big kids, but we had Ella over for a few minutes yesterday, she's 1, and Hannah started yelling "beby beby" and giggling when she saw her from the window. She immediately went to pick up Pooh Bear and gave it to Ella and then starting grabbing other book and toys to share, and then told her a few random things that we couldn't quite understand (at least she's trying to make sentences). Matt and I got tickled just seeing how social she was all of a sudden with another person closer to her age.
