finally, a garden!!

I have wanted a garden for a long time. I love being outside in the yard and getting my hands dirty. There's also something wonderfully fantastic about cooking and eating the food you've grown yourself. I was very excited to finally see this dream happen as we planted our very first little garden. I have to mention of course that I do have a gardener-in-crime (my mother) who does AT LEAST half the work of planting/maintaining the garden. Very nice, since gardening can kinda be a lot of work.

I was fortunate enough to receive three beautiful garden boxes made by none other than Papa Dueck. With a little nudge from my mom, we managed to get the lovely boxes prepped and planted. 

The kids all helped as well, which I totally loved! Nothing better than working in the yard with my kiddos by my side!!

They got to plant starter plants and tiny little seeds, and of course make stick labels ...

They learned about watering just the right amount ... 

They were wonderful and eager little gardeners.

And then the waiting began:-)!

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...
