powder-puff derby 2014

Mae has been able to participate in a "powder-puff" pinewood derby the last couple of years with her Activity Days church group. After watching the boys have all the excitement year after year, I think she's really enjoyed getting in on the action. I won't deny that I kinda sorta hate pinewood derby season--it just feels like one more stress on the big fat stress plate--BUT, there are some great things about it and I'm happy that my kids have fun with all the excitement. 

I love that they get to spend some extra time working out in the garage with this awesome guy!!

And of course getting to display their car on the big day is pretty great for them as well.

It's hard to really tell in the picture, but Mae's is a truck with little puppies hanging out in the back;)

Pretty sure hanging out with friends is the best part of the whole ordeal!

Although, watching the cars race down the track probably comes in as a pretty close 2nd. 

Fun times! Fun group of girls!

And for the close up;).

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...
