daddy daughter birthday

Since Mae is our child who looks the most like Kevin (of course in a very feminine sort of way;), it's only natural that she should share a birthday with him, right? Okay, maybe that doesn't make any sense, and they don't exactly share a birthday (their actual big days are 6 days apart), but they do often share a b-day party--as was the case this year.


For Kevin, this b-day was the big "35". Of course, aside from the sprinkle of gray hairs--visible only during his "need-a-haircut" stage--he really doesn't look older than 20-something. Despite my being 3 1/2 years younger, we'll probably be one of those couples someday where people wonder if I'm the wife or the mom;). Ah, well, at least I get to be married to such a handsome young man.


Nothing like a camping gift ...


This is a piece of calligraphy that Kevin made in high school. It is of the poem, "Good Timber," by Douglas Malloch (a family favorite).


James, Auntie Heidi, and Brooks making silly faces ..


And again ..


I think Mae is holding chopsticks here that she got from Grandma ... Long story;).


She did receive a couple of their gifts (besides the chopsticks), but mostly she got what you see in this next picture ... MONEY.


Money that she intended to use to buy this little piece of work ...


Ah man, how I love you two!! There is simply nothing better than family!

I've been meaning to update our blog layout with the new family pictures we had taken in November. But since I'm not going to get around to it anytime too soon, I thought I'd include a couple with this post. Aren't ' they cute! The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September. Here's why ... Dueck baby #5 Arriving September 24 th 2010

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...
