Memory Lane

Our first official day in Utah (the Provo area), was spent taking a trip down memory lane-- primarily on and around the campus of Brigham Young University. We pointed out the hospital where our oldest two were born, drove by old apartments we'd lived in (including my freshman dorm where Kevin and I first met), showed the kids the spot where Kevin proposed, shopped at the BYU Bookstore, admired the many changes since we were last there six years ago, and more.

The favorite activities of the day, however, had very little to do with old memories and mostly everything to do with making new ones. They were the following ...

Playing in the arcade at the on-campus fun center.

Having fun in our first (non-Wii) family bowling game.






Eating at both of the BYU Creameries; at one for lunch and then at the other an hour later for desert.


And visiting the awesome "Bean" Museum with Grandma, Auntie, and cousins.




We had a blast!

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...
