pinewood derby (march 2015)

Okay, so looks like I spoke too soon on the pinewood derby pics in the feb. post. Oops!! Turns out Pinewood Derby was actually in March, and I just found these little beauties separated from their already-shown counterparts to show all the excitement.

What an amazing dad, still working on pinewood derby cars with his very-excited children after all these years!! Looks like this pic shows the best part--torching things;).

Closer up ... 

Yep, Brooks' smile says it all!!

Can't really see it here, but Mae's smiling as well:-). I think we found the mask in our emergency backpack, which works great (and is pretty fun to wear) with sawdust flying all around the garage.

Here's Mae working on her own pinewood derby car ...

A slice of birthday cake, complete with sprinkles and a cute little candle.

And for the big day (although Brooks' event isn't shown here)! 
Mae's the one on the far left. 

If you look closely, you can tell that our little Mae is just a bit competitive (years of living with a house full of rowdy boys)!!

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 ...
