Pics of the kiddos

A friend of ours (who is starting her own photography studio) offered to take some pictures of our kids a few weeks ago. She said she was looking for the cutest kids on planet, which naturally led to our kids. Here's the link to her blog with some of the pictures. Make sure and scan through all of her posts so you can see all of the pictures.

I messed up on naming the blog!

When Rebecca and I first set up this blog, I thought "Patience Through Suffering" would be the perfect name. The Duncan family crest has a latin phrase below it, which I thought said "learn patience through suffering." Jeremy recently informed me that I was wrong. The phrase is "learn to suffer." I'm not crazy about the idea of having that be the name of the family blog. Might send the wrong message.

I am now racking my brain to come up with a new name for the blog, but until we release version 2.0 of the blog, we are stuck with patience through suffering. If anything changes with the title (and most likely the web address), we will keep you posted!

Moving Day

This is a little out of order, but we thought we would post some photos of the moving process. Especially because we will not be going through the process for a very long time.

New House!

It's been quite a while since we posted. Part of the reason is our new house. While we got everything moved in and unpacked in just a few days, little things have kept us busy. We feel quite blessed to be in such a great house. It beats the heck out of the not so great place we were renting before.

Huevos. . .Huevos

Easter may very well be Mackenzie's favorite holiday. She's an boiledeggoholic--she can't get enough of them. Tyler can't stand them and Avery can only eat so many before her mouth gets so dry she can't swallow any more. Tonight was her dream night. We had a bunch of fun dying (how do you spell that?) and decorating a handful of easter eggs. Her are some pics of the fun-fest.

Avery, the forgotten child

We were just looking at the volumes of posts that we have made to this blog and realized that the only pic of Avery is the family photo. So no one thinks that we love her any less, here are some photos of the little terror in action.

Nacho-the newest addition to the household

The kids have a new friend to play with-- Nacho, a 3 month old chihuahua. The kids love playing with him, and boy how we love house-training him. As patient as he is with the kids, his favorite person is Rebecca. Every night he curls up on her lap and goes to sleep. Its so precious. I wanted a weimaraner, Rebecca wanted a small dog. We compromised and got a small dog.

HANNAH MONTANA ROCKS!!!!!!!!

Like everyone else in America, we love Hannah Montana!  Really, its just Mackenzie that has caught onto the craze, but even Rebecca has been caught singing "Life's what you make it so let's make it rock!"  Passing through Wal-Mart one day Mackenzie saw this poster and asked if she could have it.  Rebecca told her no.  This picture was the compromise reached after hours of intense negotiation.

Tyler's 3rd Birthday

Tyler turned 3 on March 14.  Hard to believe the lad is already 3.  I think the highlight of his birthday was walking through the woods at Grandpa and Grandma Goodman's house "hunting" for rabbits, moose, and bears.  Thanks for the Curious George book and the magazine subscription Mom and Dad.  Tyler loves Curious George!  

Welcome to the blog!

After spending the weekend trying to email several photographs to Grandpa and Grandma Duncan, we have caved and joined the blogging scene.  We figure this will be the easiest way to publish photos and keep the extended fam updated.  Check back weekly for updated pics and news!

p.s. There will be an explanation about the blog's name on a later post, but I imagine Jeremy will get it.
