Busy Summer

Life continues to be busy at the Dueker household. Jacob and Allison just finished swimming lessons and are now fearless in the pool. Allison is swimming across the pool with no floaties and Jacob is diving for multiple toys with one breath. Jacob also "graduated" from preschool but continues to go to school three days a week so he doesn't get bored at home (and doesn't drive his mom crazy). Alexis is wonderful (because she does what she is told and doesn't talk back) and is growing fast. I didn't think it was possible to have a baby that was sleeping throught the night at six weeks but Alexis has proved me wrong. She goes to sleep at nine and wakes at four a.m. which makes Mom very happy. She is finding her voice and cooing a lot in between her smiles. Here are some of our latest pictures.

Welcome to our first blog. Hopefully I can keep you all up to date with photos and news of our family this way.

This is Jacob's first day at preschool. He absolutely loves it and ASKED to attend school 5 days a week. School hours are from 9-3 and he has homework every week. So much for show and tell and play time.

Jacob had a great time at Chucky Cheese for his 5th b-day party. Hannah is on the left and Maya is on the right. Everyone is growing up so quickly.

Hee-ha cowboy and the princess. Jacob and Allison scored literally a bucket full of candy, of which I am still enjoying.

I hope to be diligent in sending photos in my spare time....wait, what is that?
