march madness

Since March has managed to come and go like something of a whirlwind, I suppose it's time to throw up a few quick updates. I'm honestly not sure that the order of the forthcoming events is correct (I was serious about the whirlwind thing!); I just know they happened in March, and we managed to capture a few pictures of each.

So here we go ...

The boys participated in a math competition with some schoolmates and an awesome math coach (fellow classmate's dad). Good work, guys!









We were privileged to celebrate the 87th birthday of this foxy lady (also known as Grandma Porter).









We got to see this cute chick (I mean, pig) in her school concert.






Little Miss Teacher started training her first pupil in the delicate art of cartwheels.









As well as misc. gymnastics abilities.






The kids (with cousins) enjoyed their first picnic of the year. Brrr.


(Porter demonstrating the pizza-bagel crane pose ... didn't get the it's-freezing-outside memo, hence the shorts/t-shirt)



These two enjoyed a little brotherly love, via morning cartoons.






These two went undefeated with this year's basketball team.





This guy decided that diapers were good for nothing except to dirty kitchen tables, and that iPads rock.



This girl participated in her first Powderpuff (e.g., Pinewood) Derby.



















As a family, we ventured to the park for the first time since fall.









Porter and James were on their school's winning Battle of the Books team.



A hippie and a 50s girl graced our home in honor of spirit week.



And that's about it ... other than the fifty additional things I'm forgetting;).

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 The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September.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