Crazy LOVE!

One evening about a month and-a-half ago, Kevin took the "big boys" to some awesome zip lines up in the mountains (thanks, Bishop), so Mae, Brooks, and I headed to Shrek part 4 (courtesy of our super handy dollar theater ... $2 to be exact). Afterwards we crossed the street to Cold Stone where Mae selected, for the three of us to share, a mountain of chocolate ice cream (Who's mentioning the crunched Oreo cookie bits and cute little chocolate chips? Not me), contained in a chocolate-covered waffle bowl adorned with colorful sprinkles.

We sat outside in the amazing summer air where I was toasty warm with my built-in babylicious heater despite the frozen indulgence. As cliche as this sounds, it felt like time halted for a moment while I watched my two little ones basking in the giddiness of sugar and cream and being out past bedtime. Little did they know that as they giggled and munched away, my heart was silently exclaiming, "you are absolutely EVERYTHING to me, messy faces and all!"

Oh, how I adore my crazy little family!

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera at the time, but I did quickly snap these pics once we arrived home.

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...
