lone lake

Kevin and the boys managed to sneak in one last outing before the school year got in full swing (over Labor Day weekend).

They loaded up the kayaks ...



Jumped on the ferry (after driving the hour or so to get there) ...



And took advantage of a beautiful day at Whidbey Island's Lone Lake.



A relaxing day ...



Full of boating ...



And fishing ...



On the down side, i don't think they really caught anything, at least nothing substantial. Maybe they were a little too relaxed;).



But on the flip side, they did see an owl attacking a wild chicken. And this is a positive why? Well, they're boys ... and owls are cool regardless of what they're doing.

This is not a great picture, but I promise the owl is there. Gray oblong-ish speck thingy, right in the middle.



And now, the chicken--which I'm told managed to escape the attack. Lucky bird!



And then, the day was over. Good work boys (that is, "work";) Time to head home.

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...
