Kevin b-day (October 2015)

We sure had a fun time with Kevin's 39th b-day in October of 2015. We were especially excited to see him open some special b-day prizes we had planned for him. He got cool socks, special hand-made cards, and movie tickets from G-ma Loo (the boy really likes his movies!!). I was looking forward to giving him my gift: tickets to a Dracula production at the Taproot Theater that I knew he'd love! And finally, we were all excited about his extra special gift from all of us (that James helped plan and pick out from Zumiez)--an awesome skateboard!! We knew he had one as a kid, and since he's always trying to ride James' longboard when we're out together, figured it was time for him to have another one.

Opening presents.

A little surprised by this special gift:-)

Which we took right out to the park to have fun with!

Fun for days!!

And finally, a little later in the month we enjoyed a on a night out in Seattle at the Taproot Theater showing of Dracula. The show was fantastic and our favorite part about this theater is that it's small--you could probably have a seat just about anywhere in the room and still totally feel completely immersed in the production (http://taproottheatre.org).

Happy Birthday, Hon!! We sure had fun celebrating you this year. Now just don't hurt yourself on that skateboard;).

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 The crazy part, though, is that as much as I LOVE these pictures (thanks to McKenzie Goff), they will already be outdated as of September.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