construction updates! (april 2018)

Watching the restaurant come together piece by piece was for sure the funnest part of this endeavor.

We loved stopping by regularly to make sure things were on track and see what had changed

It's crazy how little things, like vinyl signage on the door, can be so exciting!

Kevin teamed with our awesome builder Peter Jones (Pantheon Construction) to manage the project. He also worked hands-on a lot in the beginning with demolition. After that, he would still assist with little things here and there.

I helped some with demo as well ... but mostly just admired;).

Our amazing kiddos (and sometimes friends;) also did a lot of work!!

They were great about jumping in and helping with demo, trucking things back and forth, helping with the heavy lifting (like with this beast of a trash receptacle).

It was hard work, but I think they enjoyed it quite a bit as well ... talk about a family project!

During this time we were also taking care of a ton of back-end work and beginning to interview and hire.

We're almost there!!!

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...
