Christmas morning

Now for Christmas morning. Which, as always, was super fantastic!

We all woke up around 8:00 (kinda lame, I know), and waited upstairs while Kevin headed down to turn on the Christmas music and take pictures of Santa's handy work.

Notice Kevin's side vs. my side. Ha ha, just kidding. I was spoiled way more on Christmas Eve.

Kiddos (aka, wolf pack) cuddling together while they wait

And then the fun begins ...

Joseph did a little of this and a little of that.

Mae was excited about her rollerblades.

But probably had the most fun with a fashion sketch kit.

Brooks was Brooks, silly faces and all.

James enjoyed peeking at his new sportsgear.

And sporting his crazy hat.

And, as is fairly customary, porter checked out a new book first.

Then gravitated to the family/kids gift.

And kinda just stayed there.

Along with Kevin and James.

With a short break to get super excited about the Wild Waves season passes.

And then there's me ... figuring out the next yummy thing we should eat. Sounds about right:).

Another wonderful Christmas come and gone. Love the great spirit all throughout the season!!

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...
