it's been way too long..


i have not updated the blog with anything substantial for so long. it's been a busy season and with 3 tiny kids and a new puppy the blog has ,unfortunately, gone by the wayside. so please forgive my neglect, i'm going to try to be back on the blog scene, for my mom's sake :)

happy half birthday to you...

owen had a great time at his half birthday party.
he loves to be tickled by austin, they could do it for hours!
we all chose a little dessert in celebration of owen's 6 months
owen loved the candle...
then spent the rest of the time wondering where the flame went and why he didn't get any dessert
we are so thankful for our sweet owen and the joy he brings to our family.
he's sweet and snuggly,
he's easily pleased,
he LOVES his sisters and dodger,
he thinks his dad is hilarious
&
his momma makes him swoon.
he's the perfect addition to our family & we couldn't be more in love with him
here are a few of my favorite of our little
duke





this little half birthday made me think of two little other celebrations,
it also made me wonder "weren't these just yesterday?": ella, adeline

today adeline returned to teacher kimberly's ballet class.
today was ella's first day after years of watching & begging to dance.
in the car they said that dancing together was their favorite part.

i love my tiny dancers!

the big duke's first visit to the big duke city

we had a great time in albuquerque in november. we were able to spend time with a lot of friends whom we haven't seen in a long time and had a wonderful time at our dear friend sara's wedding.

but family time was the highlight...
the cousins LOVE LOVE LOVE each other, especially the "twins"
and the newest set of "twins"
ella and i loved holding sweet little jace
we couldn't get enough!
we had fun at the aquarium...
and the river...


and in the leaves...





and in the snow...
(well, most of us had fun in the snow!)

and with the fam.

it was a mini-duncan family reunion. ella and owen met their great grandma d for the first time. addie met her just before she turned one and enjoyed seeing her again.
4 generations
duncans, duncans everywhere! we had a super time as a family & it was a treat introducing the kids to their aunts and uncle.
we had a great visit with my dearest friend, whitney, and her three girls. so cute, i wish we lived closer so the girls could become friends :)
the kids had such fun with my aunt cindy
and she agrees that owen is a mini-austin!
owen fell in love with my dad. as soon as owen would hear my dad's voice he would squirm all around to try and find him & was happiest when he was playing with pappa!
sweet baby jace stole our hearts and we're all so glad to have another little family member to love.
and it was such a treat for us to spend time with trey. the girls loved being with him and they all got along perfectly. i love seeing the "cuggins" together!
the girls were constantly trying to hug and kiss trey!

this is how we found the kids most of the time (although most of the time there were also marshmallows involved also!). they love piling on grammy!
thanks family, for a great time. we loved being with you!
