Pumpkin Patch, Friends, & Fun.

Last weekend, we took the girls to a local farm for their annual pumpkinland festivities. Hannah went last year, but was still a bit young to really enjoy it. Things were quite different this year! Not only did Hannah know what we were doing, she helped pick out her pumpkin! Plus, Sarah joined us {in person!} this year!

We met up with our friends and their five {yes, FIVE} children. Hannah immediately bonded with their oldest daughter and didn't let her out of her site for the entire trip. It was precious!

Hannah spent a good part of her time at the pumpkin patch inspecting the pumpkins, carrying them around, and much to our dismay, throwing them. :/ We quickly had to stop that!

She kept Gram and Pap busy!

I posted this picture on facebook and got a comment about it being an "interesting photograph". I couldn't figure out what this person was talking about, until I noticed my Dad in the background...looks like he's going to walk right into a giant pumpkin. ;)

The best picture I could get of the two of them. *le sigh*

Contemplating her next move...

My friend, Jheimy, convinced me to let Sarah out of the Boba carrier so she didn't feel left out...

She loved crawling around (eeep) to investigate the pumpkins!

Hannah refused to look at me and smile. I was busy snapping pictures of Jheimy's kids when Jheimy nudged me to turn around. I had told her son to sit on a pumpkin and smile...unbeknownst to me, Hannah was behind me doing the same!

Then Jheimy made her laugh...

...and then she realized what we were up to...smart girl!

Sarah shared giggles with Daddy...

Hannah marched up and down the rows of pumpkins. Look how serious she looks!

We really had a blast! I'm sure each year will just get more and more enjoyable and fun as the girls get older!

Sarah is ten months old today. Ten months! Where has the time gone? I didn't realize today was the 28th, and when I did, I got a little sad. Ten months. I'm planning her first birthday party. I know I keep saying it, but I really can not believe that my baby girl will be one in just two short months from today.
She is such a joy and such a blessing to our family. I can not imagine life without her! I love watching her interact with Hannah. They have such a special bond already. I can't wait to see how that bond grows as they do.
I just love her!

I don't have a good picture to post of her for today, but I'm working on it, so stay tuned! :)
