Easter 2018

Family-room mini Easter egg hunt, baskets full (but not too full;) of candy, the traditional chocolate bunny, and Cadbury eggs for The Dad ... that some of the kids then try to steal. Must be Easter morning!!

These two were definitely the first ones digging in.

The olders are a lot more mellow these days when it comes to holiday mornings, but they're still great sports about it and try to make sure it's special for the youngers. 

Even if they enjoy teasing each other, more than checking out the Easter baskets. 

Mm hmm, there's those Cadbury Eggs.

After an Easter worship service, focusing on the purpose and the true excitement of the day--our glorious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ--family bonding and tradition continues. What a perfect combination!

Mae baked us a delicious "water color" cake

And then we finished off with a "cousins" Easter egg hunt ... this time we got super lazy and did it in our tiny backyard;).

No worries, the kids didn't mind. 

Despite the sunshine and all the boys in short sleeves, it was actually a very brisk Spring morning. This girlie and I made sure to bundle up before heading out!!

My family sometimes (oftentimes??) makes me want to pull my hair out, but I sure to love them.

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...
