Dueck's Roost: July 2015
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. This is going to be a hard one. No way around it. This experience was difficult to live through and still gives me a pit in my stomach when I think back on it. At the same time, there were some beautiful moments and I suppose some positives that came from it all. This type of scene is most of what I remember from those early moments at Harborview. In no time at all, Porter was headed into surgery, and Kevin and I were left shell-shocked and waiting. If I remember right, surge...

Dueck's Roost: July 2013
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 22, 2013. Three boys at a poll. Three monkeys (I mean boys) on a poll. Now that is life at the Dueck house! Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Another great Mother's Day come and gone. So grateful to my sweet children and thoughtful husband for my tasty breakfast (chocolate chip and blueberry pancakes). Yum-O. And of course grateful for the wonderful mothers and grandmothers in my life. Couldn't ask for better examples, supporters, and friends! Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Learning...

Car fun (run boys, run! M and G dancing and posing as always:-) . M photo shoot . Group photo shoot . Slip n' slide fun . Family impromptu talent show (our tradition!

Dueck's Roost: finally, a friend party;)
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2015/03/finally-friend-party.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Finally, a friend party;). Brooks had been waiting for a "friend party" for quite a while. For some reason it never seemed to work out or be the right timing. His 7th b-day, though, finally changed that. Admittedly, it was probably not a conventional birthday party. In fact, B's awesome older siblings really ran the whole thing. They taught Brooks and his friends how to make paper Chinese lanterns. Then Porter and James organized a game of soccer. Brooks enjoyed some presents!

Dueck's Roost: May 2013
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 2, 2013. Sunny day in seattle. So, during Easter weekend we were also able to make a trip to downtown Seattle, specifically Pike's Place area. We hadn't been there since the boys were little, and between the parking lot scammer and all the interesting people (girl in a very ornate leather muzzle probably wins the prize) I think it was quite an education for them. In line at Peroshky Peroshky (kinda a family tradition). Didn't go on it. But it does look pretty out by the water. All of them .

Dueck's Roost: April 2014
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 18, 2014. Stand in holy places. Why is it that everything seems to happen all at once instead of spaced out in nice little bite-sized segments? An a unavoidable fact of life I suppose. In just the first several days of July- give or take a bit, we drove to and from Utah (and played a lot in between), hauled James daily to scout camp, traveled to/spoke at our stake youth conference (youth group weekend event), celebrated our 14-year anniversary (post to follow), and who knows what else.

Dueck's Roost: October 2014
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 9, 2014. Okay, well it's official, I'm the most behind that I've ever been on our blog. 15 whopping months. Yep, more than a full calendar of empty pages (or posts). Yikes! Let's see, where was I? Oh, yes, on to our first family trek up Mt. Si. In case it hasn't been obvious enough, one thing our family does, is hike! Mt Si is a pretty popular hike. Maybe because of the distance from Seattle (only about 45 minutes), the fact that it's something of a challenge without being too chall...

Dueck's Roost: February 2015
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2015. 37 in the house. This guy really is amazing. He is so dedicated to serving others, working hard at his career, making his family laugh, spoiling his wife (nice, since that's me;), keeping himself physically fit, being accountable to a higher power, and knowing when to put everything else aside and kick back for a break! Luckily I get to share the crazy ups and downs of life with him! Happy birthday, Mr. 37! The girls of the house;). Birthday treats, yum:). So, we currently do h...

Dueck's Roost: August 2013
http://duecksroost.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 25, 2013. Kevin's favorite yearly IT event- the CiscoLive! Conference- was just not quite as fantastic as last year (because I wasn't there of course;), but I think he still made the best of it and had a good time all the same. Ha ha Just kidding. I'm sure he had such a great time in Florida, he probably hardly noticed my absence! Glad you enjoyed it, Hon, but nice to have you home:). Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Middle school, here we come . Way to make the most of life! The weath...
