pumpkin patch (october 2015)

Also in October, I had the privilege of helping out with Joseph's pre-k pumpkin patch field trip. 

It seems I'm meant to be surrounded mostly by boys my whole adult life, so it's no surprise that my group was a gang of 5 darling and very energetic little males (Joe's the one in the mohawk hat).

As always, Joseph was all lit up with excitement about this new experience. 

We visited the popular Spooner Farms (http://www.spoonerberries.com/harvest-festival). It's hard to see in this pic, but their little "trams" were adorable pigs, cows, etc. (complete with tails).

They had classic hay bail spiders!

Giant rope spider webs, and more! 

The kids got to milk a fake cow, which was definitely interesting. 

And race rubber duckies with these nifty water pump tracks. 

I had such a great time with this little guy!
It was really a unique year acknowledging the fact that my baby was no longer a baby and that we had to pull away from each other just a bit. In some ways so so sad, and in other ways incredible for both of us. Love this kid!!

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...
