Kon'nichiwa!

I have two sisters. Both incredible, inspiring women. My oldest lives nearby which is fantastic!! The one just older than me lives far away. As in really far away. At the time of this post in Japan (hence the title), and now in Germany. But, once a year she comes to visit which is also fantastic!! I will admit, I am reasonably embarrassed at this post--it is in her honor, yet she only appears in one picture, and her hubby in zero. Oops! I don't know what happened, other than I'm in a hurry to catch up and really should have asked my oldest sister (the family picture taker) for her stash. I figure it's okay, though. What matters is the celebration/gathering that took place in her honor. Right?? And that is what these pictures reflect.

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...
