october 2014 misc.

And to finish out the month of October we have James' personal history/heritage project ...

He made crepes with Grandma D. to show a traditional family recipe. They made them the night before and then we rolled them up with cinnamon sugar and a drizzle of syrup in the morning. They were delicious!!

The best part (well, for me anyway) was that I got to volunteer in the classroom that morning, keeping an eye on the project displays as other classes visited.

And also in October, Kevin talked me into a morning hike on the Cable Line Trail on Tiger Mountain (in Issaquah).

Here's what Washington Trails Association has to say about the hike ...

"What a workout! The Cable Line Trail on Tiger Mountain is not for the weak of heart, nor the weak of knees. A steep, slippery incline awaits you here, climbing over 2,000 feet in just 1.5 miles to the summit of West Tiger 3. True to its name, an old cable line is occasionally visible in ground as hikers trudge to the top."

I don't think I had been working out a whole lot leading up to this so I pretty much wanted to vomit the entire way up--don't think I ate enough before starting either:(.

That's okay though because we were just happy to get the workout in!

And of course make it to the top of another beautiful Washington trail.

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 The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September.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