Miss Priss was helping her Mama make a pizza and sampling items as she assisted--notice her red pizza sauce mustache! (Speaking of, I've got a fun new review coming up soon! You'll have to check it out...)
We have been thoroughly enjoying our cooler weather here lately (can I getta "AMEN", DFW?!) After a nice long walk this morning, we have been hanging around the house--reading, playing, laughing...its been a good week.
Mr. Sunshine...my darling Drew
Liddle E-bud (Ethan) is looking SOOOO much better! (Always with the car---any car---even now!)
Benny Boop is such a ham! I LOOOOVE this new smile of his---he gets SO excited when I tell him to smile for the camera. Oh, and don't forget to make the noise when you smile: "Eeeeeeeeee"
Good 'ole Mom & Dad are doing good too---thanks to the Steeces, we had a much needed date night last Saturday in Austin with some of our best friends.
And remembering in prayer:
We are lifting up the McDonald family (close friends of the Steeces) as they have unexpectedly lost a mother and a wife to a brain aneurysm a little over 24 hours ago. I cannot even imagine the heartache/pain involved of suddenly losing my Mom at age 16. Our hearts our breaking and we are on our knees for these wonderful people. May the God of all comfort and healing continue to lift you up and hold you tight in the darkest hours of your lives. We love you all.
I cannot tell you how excited I am to see you guys and shoot your precious babies!! THEY HAVE GROWN SO MUCH and they get more precious by the day!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your friend :(
Praying for that family right now. I lost my parents when I was young so I can really relate to their pain and loss. HUGS!
OMG! Sav looks so much older without her pig tails and with her glasses on. How fast they grow. Drew and Ethan are looking more identical as they get older too.
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet photos.
AMEN to the cooler weather! I'm not in DFW, but we're happy to have the cooler temps down here in Houston, for sure!
Sav looks so cute in her glasses.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your friend. I swear I feel like I hear about someone passing away tragicly almost everyday. 2009 has been rough!!
Where have I been? Have the kids grown a bunch in the last few weeks or what? Savannah looks like a little lady these days. Whoaaa, gorgeous foursome!
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry for your friends.
ReplyDeleteMy best friend recently lost both of her parents and her uncle in a car accident. It has been a horrible past few weeks.
Life and death doesnt seem fair at times. It makes me feel alot more greatful.
It makes me sad though how now four kids (17,21,23,24) and three grandkids (1,3, unborn) miss out on having their parents/grandparents in their lives.
Each day cherish being able to wake up and live.
OMG...that picture of Sav is PRICELESS!!! So happy to be helping her beautiful momma! What a sweet lil' thing! And Ben's new smile is to die for...what a little cutie!
ReplyDeleteLove all those sweet smiles!- Gotta say, Sav just takes the cake! She looks so grown up with her glasses on.
ReplyDeleteAmen on the cooler weather in DFW! I agree with comment above, your sweet baby girl looks to be more of a toddler now. The kids are all gorgeous. Also, I was on a medical site the other day and an advertising banner came up for Harris Hospital (I want to say it's Harris) and had your sweet babies on it.
ReplyDeleteThe smiles are SO SUNNY! Just like their mama's !
ReplyDeletePraying for your friends. Sad, sad...
I went to a play date with some friends last week and I instantly thought of you taking your quads there. You may have heard of it before, it's called Paradise Pond, google it. It's at the First Baptist church in Grapevine. $1 a piece to get it! My daughter and I had the most fun I think we have ever had!!

Savannah is so cute!!!! Don't you just love when they LOVE being with you???!!! Such a precious family!
ReplyDeletehow adorable...
ReplyDeleteI love reading your blog! The kids are so cute and Savannah's hair is getting long....it looks like a big girl hair cut! I will certainly be praying for your friends! I was 15 when I lost my Mother and certainly know what their child is going through. I don't think there is any age that it wouldn't hurt as bad but at that age you still have sooo much you want to share with your Mom! Keeping them in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteThey're all precious, but my fav, fav, fav pic is of sav, sav, sav! Those glasses are the cutest things EVER! And she looks SO happy to be helping Mommy! Tell her I pay, and I sure do need some help cooking dinner, too! :)
ReplyDeleteDid Savannah turn 5 from the time you last posted until this one? She looks so big! I love it when my kids help me in the kitchen. The oldest one has taken it upon her self to set the table complete with napkins and everything. The youngest is almost 18 months so she is just a tad too little to help right now, but I am sure she will be in there soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat post.
Sav looks so precious in her little glasses.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of prayers to the McDonald family......so tragic, I'm sure they are needing all the love and support they can get at this time.
ReplyDeleteYour children are P-R-E-C-I-O-U-S! How on earth do you get them to sit and smile for the camera? I have tried just about everything with my (almost) 2 1/2 year old twins...it is so hard! :)
Precious photos!! And you know it's one of my favorite posts because it has a picture of you in it and, well, em, it has a picture of your adorably cute husband!!!! Love your family Mrs. Steece!!!
ReplyDeletei can't get enough of beautiful savannah's sweet face in glasses. too cute! my adelaide and her sound like two peas in a pod. she just helped me make pizza last week. such sweet helpers!
ReplyDeletei wish you A LOT of luck when your kids start dating... i think Joe will need to keep a bat at the door to keep away the boys AND the girls!!! all four of them are just gorgeous!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are big, and gorgeous, smile indeed! So sorry to hear about your loss.
ReplyDeleteSav is so stinking cute in those glasses!!! Yeah for the girls who wear glasses. Hope you are dong well, and that Ethan's rash is clearing up. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI am just lovin your blog, super cute!!! =)
ReplyDeleteOh gosh Suz, I love my little Princess for the same type of reasons. She started early to "help" in the kitchen and at 4 she can do quite a few things like grate cheese, spread butter etc.
ReplyDeleteAnd enjoying the girly company amongst all the men in the house is certainly part of the charm.
I just got so excited when I was on a Carepage and saw your four little cuties on the web banner! They are just SO adorable!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE those smiles and LOVE YOU so much.
ReplyDeleteXOXO

ReplyDeletethose are some super cute kiddos! sav is looking so grown up with her little specs and hairdo!
ReplyDeletepraying for the mcdonalds!
I am not sure I have ever left comment before, but I have followed your blog here and there since you were pregnant... sounds kinda creepy now that I typed it out lol.
ReplyDeleteI was sitting here today and realized I hadn't stopped by in a while... WOW! Where did those little babies go? My mouth fell open as Miss Savannah's face popped up on my screen and then just hung there as I scrolled down the page!
The kids are beautiful and I love reading your upbeat blog!
Ok, so ditto to the post above as a random blog reader. :) But I am a nurse at Cook and couldn't help but recognize Sav in that cute purple gown, wow she is such a big girl, growing up fast and I'm sure you have a lot on your hands. I was reading a carepage today (www.carepages.com) and who popped on the screen, none other than your cute kiddos from the Texas Health add. It was so cute b/c the way they do it, one pops up at a time, you need to go check it out! So fun, and thanks for sharing parts of your life, you truly are a blessed family! Prayers going out for you and your friends family, so awful and I know God will hold them during this time.
ReplyDeleteJoanna
Sav in her glasses- so cute! All the kids are growing incredibly fast!
ReplyDeleteAdorable pics!! Suz, you especially look a lot like your mom (and aunt) in this pic! I always notice similarities but you look JUST like them in this pic! Beautiful family!!! Thanks for letting us peek into your life.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great update!!! Sav is turning into a little suz for sure!!! Her haircut and glasses make her look soooo growny! Everyone just looks adorable!! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteThose are some cute smiles from some cuties!
ReplyDeleteQuick Question for you - I have seen your children eating snacks from containers that they are able to get the snack through the lid. What kind do you have? Do you recommend them? My son is 10 months and we were thinking those might come in handy soon. N_Tarpley at yahoo dot com
I love your blog....been reading for a long time! Just had to tell you that I was on Care Pages this week reading an update on a friend who is battling cancer. Across the top of the page was a banner with your sweet babies on it! I thought "Wow, I know those kids!" Of course, I've never met you, but from reading your blog, I feel like I do. Anyway, it was really sweet to see their smiling faces!
ReplyDeleteCarol Smith
Thank you bunches! Thank you for your comment also! :o)
ReplyDeleteSuzi I love reading your blog and I just think your children are adorable. I wanted to let you know that I purchased a package of LUVS diapers and I swear the LUVS baby reminds me of your kiddos!
ReplyDeleteOk, out of the blue...I remember reading at one point re: chairs your parents bought for the kids. I am a grandparent and loved the chairs and would like to know where they purchased the chairs. Thanks for any info!
ReplyDeletehi! I've been lurking here since your kids were born. I had an aneurysm 8/5/08 3.5 weeks after my #2 was born!! Everyone was amazed I survived it. Blessedly! So sorry to hear about your friend:( drop by my blog sometime www.bresnan3.com
ReplyDeleteThose Steece grins just melt my heart. Every single one of 'em.
ReplyDeleteYour kids are SO cute! Ive been reading your blog for a while but this is my first time commenting.The first pic of Sav is just precious.
ReplyDeleteI've been a stalker for quite some time.. just wanted to say I LOVE Sav in her glasses!! My little guy got glasses when he was 3, and I think its the sweetest thing... I love your updates!! and I'm in the DFW area as well.. LOVING the cooler weather!!!
ReplyDeleteI am soo inlove with all 4 of your kids, Suz! You do such a good job of portraying their true individualities and personalities that I really feel like I know them well...is that weird? Anyways, I think that pic of Sav helping you make pizza is the cutest smile ever! I could just eat her up!
ReplyDeleteAnd for the record....I often think Adalie & Ben would be two peas in a pod!
