Big City Baby Goes To The Country

by Heather on October 8, 2010

in Spohr TV

Mike and I have been worried about Annabel lately. She’s growing up in Los Angeles, and she’s already been to New York City, San Francisco, and Washington DC. All big cities! We decided we needed our city girl to slow down, so it was off to the country for her!

This tired mama loves the peace and calm here. I think it’s time to move!

I want to move there too! I wonder if Brittany would take in a family of three and a crazy cat that likes to chase imaginary things up the wall. We could keep the kitty outside for creepy pond patrol. ;)

I love how she waved at the end! So cute! You guys should make her adventures into books on Shutterfly! She could have real adventure books to show her friends!

I’ve been following your blog for over a year but have never commeneted.

I love the country! I love the peace and quiet, but city living is so much fun as well. And your shadow is so tiny Miss Heather! I think you are in the position to give Annie the best of both worlds which is so awesome.

You have such lovely daughters, your blog is one of the few things I look forward to each week. Reading about Maddie gave me the inspiration to go into pediatric nursing, and she is just so darn cute.

I had to comment on the wave, too! Very princess-y, just like her :D .
Funny how 3 of the first 4 commenters (and possibly 4 of 4, but she didn’t mention it) recognized where you were. I guess we all get around in the blog world!

It’s the square pond with dead bodies floating beneath the murky water that gives the location away!

I was pretty sure I would see a zombie come up out of the water at any moment ;)

If you moved to the country…… Mommy and Daddy could buy you a pony, and everything, Annie!
But I bet L.A. would miss you!

I used to live out in the country, our driveway was almost 2 kms long… it’s overrated in the winter, but gorgeous from May to October!

I just wanted to say….I already found them a home with enough land for as many ponies as Annie wants.

Soooo….get your cowboy boots, baby!

She reminds me so much of Maddie in this video. So glad you had a chance to get away and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Wait, was that an intentional “bye-bye” wave at the end? Because holy smokes, when did she learn THAT??

Heather,
You always manage to capture Annie’s thoughts so well..

24 Elizabeth October 8, 2010 at 6:55 am

The country is great and very relaxing but being a big city girl myself I have to agree with Annie, get me some honking and lights and I’m at my most comfortable!

Looks like she had a great time and she’s such a ham, I love it!

Add me to the list of “I love the country”.

I am living in a teeny tiny town close to a city, but it would take some arm twisting to get me to move back to that city.

Annie is a cutie!

We actually just moved from the big city (Brooklyn) to a small town in Texas, where we have tons of room. QUITE an adjustment, let me tell you, but, so far, so good! Enjoyed this video!

Aww shucks, that sure was cute! banjo pickin was perfect. And, I was just thinking…someday when my 16 year old heads to college, I do hope he picks a rural college so he can enjoy the fall beauty like I did back then (and now). Wondered what the city college falls are like (there must be a FEW trees in the city, right? lol)

48 Terri October 10, 2010 at 10:15 am

We love the country Annie!!! Guess what else you can have if you move to the country?!?! A ponyyyyy! I would start working on them right away to get you to the country, I’m sure you can do it. Just poke your lip out and give them the eyes… maybe a tear too.. then poof! Annie has a pony! I promise, it works!!

49 Joan October 10, 2010 at 1:51 pm

Cute video but fake baby voice-overs kind of creep me out; it sounds too much like my MIL talking: “We needs us some tea in owr own widdle cuppie, yes we does!”
Pray for me. She’s horrid.
But Annie is very cute.
