A Boy and his PUMPKIN.

The FAMILY Pumpkin

Okay, so I know that Eli isn't really old enough to know or wonder about pumpkins and pumpkin patches, however, I also don't really care because the pictures are really cute.  I may have had to drag both husband and son into Piedmont this week to get my picture pumpkin fix, and let me tell you, it was worth it.  Pumpkins were everywhere (as well as some very pretty mums). Ryan may not admit it, but he liked it too.  He also was able to test out his ability as a photographer.  Brandon, I think we will be leaving the picture taking up to you.... Here is a taste of our pumpkin adventure.

Such a BIG boy.

He may have been wailing.

They both look super excited here....

A dad and his boy.

I love my mommy.

I don't think this is a replacement for Daddy.

Hmmmm.....I THINK I like pumpkins.

Don't hate me cause I'm cute.

That's right....I'm pumpkin king.

  

The "Hills" of Hillsdale...

The Wedel House

Last weekend, Ryan and I were able to take Eli for his first trip to Hillsdale to visit Ryan's parents.  It was moving day in the country, as the Wedel's are clearing out the trailer....or it was supposed to be.  Rain may have gotten in the way of toting furniture around, but it was a blessing in disguise because we were able to spend more time visiting.  I was also able to get some really cool pictures of Ryan's childhood home right before it rained.  I think that Grandma and Grandpa were a hit with Eli.  He was barely set down all day and I'm pretty sure it was mutual satisfaction on both his and the grandparents part.  Todd and Anna Ruth were also there and we had big fun watching Aladin and taking pictures. A special thanks to Norma for the fabulous peach cobbler--it was amazing.  Enjoy.

I love Norma's flowers.

A rain storm is brewing...

Obviously, HILLSdale doesn't have any hills.

Ryan and Todd put to work moving.

Grandpa loves this little boy.

The fam.

I love this little boy too.

I had to sneak up on Norma to get this picture.  She is a little camera shy.

Anna Ruth and Eli....London, we miss you.

Why hello there....what you looking at?
