8 is GREAT!

James was fortunate enough (or unfortunate enough depending on how you look at it) to share his birthday with Easter Sunday this year. Possibly the reason I don't have very many pictures of his portion of the event--oops.

Opening presents.

The main thing James asked for this year was money so he could buy his own fly fishing rod, reel, etc. (he's quite the outdoorsman), he did get a few other fun things, though.Pop-up soccer goals.
This is just here because it's cute.

Key-lime cupcakes.

James really wanted key-lime cheesecake from Costco (also my favorite!!) but they haven't carried it for the past two years:(, so I used a recipe my mother-in-law gave me. The cupcakes were delicious!

James, Porter, and Dad also spent a fun afternoon swimming at a local community center in honor of the big day, but unfortunately, I don't have have pictures of that.


Love you, James (the Jammer) Dueck!!

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...
