gobble gobble

Somehow we ended up with very few pictures of Thanksgiving. In fact, the month of November as a whole (and really, I may as well wrap Halloween in there since we can't find our pictures of that evening) was kinda a low point from a picture perspective. But only on that basis. Everything else about the harvest month was great.

We have so much to be grateful for. Absolutely everything in fact! To save a little time (since I'm currently grateful to have actually woken up when I planned and for the prospect of having a very productive morning/day), I'm just going to put it this way ... the only things I'm NOT grateful for are cockroaches and tapioca pudding. For mostly everything else, I am overwhelmed daily with gratitude.

My favorite pictures from Thanksgiving this year are really just images of the place cards Mae made while having a sleep over the night before at papa and grandma D's house and helping them prepare for the big meal.

It started something like this for the boy birds (they really do have a beak and legs, it's just hard to see in this picture) ...



And this for the girl birds ...



Then one of the Elders (missionaries) who was joining us decided to add a tie and some, uh, grass??



And from there Kevin and Mae just couldn't resist having a little fun as well.






I really do have some pictures of actual people as well; although, not many.

Me and the momma.



Cute hubby.



G-ma & G-pa D.



And little J in grandpa's big chair, where he pretty much hung out all evening.



What a beautiful and blessed life!

Number Five

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 The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September.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