brooks pumpkin patch

Kindergartners love the pumpkin patch. Pretty sure that's a universal fact. It is a pretty cool place after all. It's outside, there's plenty of dirt around, sometimes animals, a school bus ride tends to be part of the outing, and often a yummy sack lunch. What's not to love?! Oh, and of course, picking your very own pumpkin is pretty awesome too.

Well, Brooks is a fairly typical kindergarten (mostly;). He definitely thought his pumpkin patch trip was something cool. And I thought it was great getting to go with him.

The outing was especially unique (compared to previous PP field trips I've been on) in that it was more of a farm experience as a whole, not just a visit to the pumpkin patch. The kids got to pick apples, carrots, and potatoes to take home. They had a little wagon ride. Munched on a bit of kale (can't imagine in what other setting they all would have been so willing). Had a snack of fresh apples. Fed chickens. etc. etc. Oh, and yes, each picked out their very own pumpkin (of course I missed a picture of that important moment, oh, well).

Brooks, your such a fun kid! And so good! Thanks for being willing to let me tag along;).

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010

Baby Joseph

Another little miracle, Joseph Benjamin Dueck , arrived in our family September 5 th , 2010 at 3:23pm. Of course, every mom describes the birth of her children as miraculous--I know, I feel that way about each of mine--but in this case Joseph's healthy arrival really did turn out to be something of a miracle. But before I get into the story, I have some catching up to do since I haven't blogged at all about this pregnancy. So ... Here's me on the first day of school which was just two days before Joseph was born. Since I was taking pictures of the kids, James decided I needed one as well. I'm actually glad he did, because I had been meaning to get a picture of my baby "bump" for days if not weeks and hadn't gotten around to it. Of course, I thought I still had plenty of time to make it happen. And just very quickly, I have to throw out some highlights from this pregnancy which for some reason all have to do with Mae ... Mae telling me (during the first tri...
