live long and prosper--or something like that (emerald city comicon, march 2015)

Another big highlight of late-winter/early-spring was Emerald City Comicon!! Kevin decided it would be fun to check it out so we asked the kids who wanted to go. Turned out they pretty much all did. In fact, I'm thinking Mae was interested as well, but had something else going on at the time. 

When it came down to it, Kevin, Porter, James, and Brooks dressed up in their best comic-themed t-shirts, played hooky from school and work, and made their way up to Seattle for the packed event. 

They didn't end up with a whole lot of pics, but here they are in the morning before heading out ...(Getting a good picture of all of them was a bit tricky). 



Couldn't resist the strong-man pose. 

At the actual event, they did manage to get one pic with R2-D2. 

And another one playing Magic the Gathering.
I think there was a whole room set aside for it--Porter's dream come true;). 

Despite the lack of pictures, there was definitely not a lack of people in costume, sci-fi star appearances, robots and gadgets, and of course FUN.

Glad you got to spend the day together guys!!

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...
