dad's day @ tradition lake (june 2018)

So we have this thing. Actually, the Dad of our house has this thing. It's called hiking. Our Dad looooooves to hike. He really really really LOVES it. The rest of us really really really LIKE it too. Sometimes we even love it; depends if he's tricked us onto a ten-mile trail that was supposedly only two miles. That may be an exaggeration but only slightly;).

Anyway, so every Father's Day we show this Dad of ours how much we love and appreciate him by doing HIS thing. Actually, it's kinda a trick of our own because it's technically a "hike", but in all honesty it's a super super easy one. We're gonna call it a win-win for everyone!!:)

The best part is that for this traditional Father's Day hike of ours we go to a nice little spot called Tradition Lake (https://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/tradition-lakes). It's a pretty tiny lake, but the trail around it is nice and relaxing, and even has some some old rusty objects laying around that are strangely fun to see.

And the best best part is that we get to slow down, spend time as a family, and celebrate our amazing Dad!!

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...
