"The fundamental mission of motherhood now is the same as it always was: to nurture, protect, and instruct children, to create a home environment that enables them to learn and grow, to help them develop a heart for God and his purposes, and to send them out into the world prepared to live both fully and meaningfully."

-Sally Clarkson from the Mission of Motherhood

Field Trips!

AnnMarie is officially at the age to take real field trips. I can't believe I'm not the teacher leading these trips; instead I'm the mommy watching my child in action with her class. My how things have come full circle!
AnnMarie and Mrs. Conner at the zoo
Our zoo is so pretty! It's always a treat when we get to go there.
Great photo op :)

The next week we (finally--after rescheduling cause of rain) got to go to the pumpkin patch. The kids were enthralled with the gourds.

My little scarecrow
The whole class trying their best to smile through squinting!

Sweet little pumpkin
Clark came along on this trip too. I am hoping all of this dragging him around (aka never finishing a nap on his own, etc.) will make him very well rounded one day! :)
What a blessing it is to get to be there for every special moment with my child. I love it!
