The Duke Family

It has been brought to my attention that I have been lacking in the blogging world lately. I am aware of this and I do apologize! I don't know if it's that I don't have anything to say or more so that I have so much to say that I am having a hard time getting my thoughts in an order fit to be blog worthy!
An update on our fam will suffice for now, I'm sure!
Christmas was wonderful! We had a white Christmas and I had a white birthday which was just grand! The boys enjoyed their time off of school as did I and we all enjoyed Daddy-O being home with us for so long!
The boys have started basketball again. It amazes me at the improvement each of them have made from just last year! Camron is our shy guy! He wants to play and has fun when he does but couldn't bring himself to play in his first game! Caden, on the other hand was running up and down the court! Jaxon's defensive skills have improved so much! I must admit that all of my boys (Daddy-O included) are counting down the days until baseball season arrives!
I know many of you are wondering where we stand in the adoption world. We are waiting....patiently....knowing that God will bless us with a baby at just the right time. Once you have a fall through, you go top priority..., BUT we also want a low risk case. Obviously there is risk with anything and everything but the lower the risk the better so that we don't lose any more money! No worries, I WILL blog about it when it happens ;)!
Shortly before Christmas, Kelly came up and did family portraits for us. She did a WONDERFUL job as always! I will attach some of the pics.
School is back in session at The Duke Academy. We have revamped things a little around here. Nothing major...just trying to enjoy each other more and not be so..."business-like"! More about that will come later as well!

I just love this candid shot of Daddy-O and Jax...or should I say his mini-me!

Yes they have on Santa hats and yes they are cute in them!

How handsome are they?! Seriously!

My little cutie-pa-tooties!
