V-day

By
Valentine's Day ...

A day of tiny paper cards that say things like, "Hop to it and be mine!" (Littlest Pet Shop), "To a totally dustworthy Valentine" (Tinkerbell), "You're my hero!" (Power Rangers), and my personal favorite, "Glad you're on my side, Val Pal!" (Wolverine X-Men).

A day of endless heart-shaped lollipops.

A day when nervous husbands make a mad dash for the nearest grocery store's floral dept (a ritual that I personally observed this year).

A day of the famous paper mail box.

A day of heart-shaped Papa Murphy's pizza (in our house at least).

A day of LOVE:)
Joseph, I love the way you suck your toes (sorry you didn't make it into the picture).
Brooks, I love your belly laugh.
Mae, I love your "sorry" notes.
James, I love your recycle-bin inventions.
Porter, I love how you play with Brooks.
Honey, I love the way you love me (like the song:):)
Okay, I'll be serious ... I love what a creative father you are!

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...
