just kickin it

This year our family re visited a long-lost pastime. Okay, well, not that long lost. Just something we previously enjoyed (and I do use that word somewhat loosely), but haven't participated in for a couple of years.

So what is it? Soccer.

Good 'ole stand out in the cold, chase the ball in a pack (for the little ones at least), eat many an orange slice, don't forget your umbrella and raincoat soccer.

This time, though, it was Mae's and Brooks' turn to participate.



And participate they did.



Mae was on a fantastic team with a very supportive coach.



She caught on pretty quickly and seemed to have a lot of fun.



Picture day.



Brooks was on a team of cute little newbies, also with a great (very patient) coach.



It took some time, but they all started to pick up on the rules of the game.



And they certainly lacked nothing in the have-a-good-time department. This picture is particularly suiting as, at the beginning of the season, they named themselves the "ninja chimps".



Cute, fun loving, caterpillar examining soccer player:).



And the season ends. Which, not gonna lie, was probably a bit of a relief to all of us. Sure we had a good time, but lets just say our soccer days are probably numbered (or perhaps have already run out;).

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 The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September.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

And to finish off April, we have ...  Earth-Day excitement! Porter's promposal to this sweet girl!! Which involved singing to her (with his bro. and buddies) in front of about 75 surprised onlookers. Happy Birthday to G-ma Loo:-) And sunny family day at the park ... Looks like the man bun is still going strong!;)

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...
