To the blog troll who left a comment about Ethan and Andrew having a “pinched preemie head”- they actually don’t. Their face shape is exactly like their Daddy’s: long and narrow.
…while Sav and Ben have their Mama’s round, basketball shaped head.
Those who make fun of children are pathetic, SAD individuals.

Can't believe anyone would make fun of a kid. Your children are adorable!!
umm....your kids are CRAZY cute!
People are sad and you are so blessed to have such happy healthy little ones. All 4 of them are gorgeous and I just love your blog :)
WHAT!?!? I have never commented, but this mom is PEEVED! How low can someone be? Why can't people learn to keep their traps shut! I guess their jealousy of your perfect, healthy, beautiful quads is coming out in full force. WOW. I am mad...
Wow! So people are unbelievable. I don't know how anyone could make fun of your cutie pies! All 4 of them are ridiculously cute! :)
I read all the time but don't usually comment BUT WOW!!! What is wrong with people? Your kids are gorgeous, mama! Don't listen to that garbage. Seriously. I'm pretty sure that blog troll has had his/her head damaged though...
Ok.....
1) Holy cow, E and A are spitting images of Joe!! And, I love that even as a child, he still had that wide-eyed expression we've seen in a bazillion photos, lol.
2) Your kids are adorable.
3) I will never understand why people would waste their time hating on a person they don't know. It befuddles me.
4) Your kids are seriously adorable.
Just wanted to chime in here and say that I think your blog is a great resource for other moms. You have a great writing style and your blog is very uplifting. I hope you continue. Your kids are so gorgeous, and I hope you don't believe a word the troll wrote!
Regardless, they seem like great kids, so happy and full of life. Even if your kids were physically unconventional (and may I say again that they are super cute), beauty comes from the heart.
That troll is a huge turd.
That's nuts. I can't believe people sometime! Well, I take that back I can!!! There are very few truly nice individuals out there. :-((
Angry. So Angry. How could anyone say such a thing?!?! I have been following your blog since the beginning (can't even remember how I found it, but I did!!) and your children are precious, adorable and perfect gifts of God.
People can be so rude!! You have BEAUTIFUL children!!
Amen, sista. Your kids are beautiful and that person is truly a troll.
Hm, I'm pretty sure that the kids with weird shaped heads are the ones who are born vaginally. Which is almost everyone. One exception? Quads. :)
Steece Family ~ I've read your blog for years, but have never commented. It's amazing that someone would say such a horrible thing about two beautiful little boys (Ben and Sav are equally beautiful). Please don't let some pathetic,jealous, sorry excuse for a human being get you down, you're a beautiful family. Keep your chin up, and don't let what some loser said bother you.
How rude! I have, on more than one occasion, called my hubby over to see how adorable your kiddos are. I take unhappy people with a grain of salt.
Your children are ADORABLE!! I love following your blog! Don't worry about the negative people out there, they aren't worth your precious time. :)
I never comment either, but JEEZ, what is with people? I know I should expect in this day and age, but seriously, it still never ceases to amaze me how people can be so rude and thoughtless and cruel. And WRONG! Your babies are absolutely perfect. Gorgeous, happy, healthy kids with 2 loving parents and a wonderful extended family. I didn't see the offending comment (and I hope you deleted it), but my guess is that the person is beyond jealous, since jealousy seems to spawn the worst offenses in the "rude" department. I'm sorry they hurt your feelings! Good for you for standing up to them!!
How sad that someone would go out of there way to be mean about little kids! They are adorable! XOXO
I never comment because life is crazy, but I can't believe people are so mean! Your kids are adorable, some of the cutest little kiddie ever! Obviously the blog troll wasn't taught if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all!!!!
Perfect, beautiful, just as God had planned, heads. Some people are ridiculous.
Love you Babe!
How rude! I have no idea what a "pinched preemie head" even is. I am a long time reader of your blog, but had to comment on this one because I think Andrew and Ethan are ADORABLE! Seriously. Cute, cute kids. And their smiles are radiant!
I'm sorry you even had to read and defend that. Your kids are all gorgeous!
Your kids are perfect! People can be jerks...they are just jealous!
Don't they have something better to do with their time?
I rarely comment, but I have to agree with the previous posters. Your kids are adorable!!! I admire you for all the things you are doing along with all of them! Congratulations...
I too have never commented but your kids are all adorable and perfect! They are loved to the moon and back by so many family and friends, perfect little people!
Other people can be so rude and judgemental, hearing that comment had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck, which is usually reserved for comments about my kids! Big trolls is right!
I read your blog all the time but never comment but I had to on this one. I can't believe someone would say something so rude about a child. I'm sorry you even had to hear/read someone say something like that about your kids. They are soo cute, don't let stupid people (who hide behind a computer screen) bother you.
they are 4 of the cutest kids I've ever seen. : )
I read your blog a lot, but rarely comment (I think I did on the stolen 'burb posts...former 'burb owner myself, miss mine bunches). Anyway, I know what pinched preemie head looks like and your kids don't look like that. Even if they did why would you point that out to someone, I have no idea. Whoever said that needs to just not comment if they don't have something nice to say. Love the blog and the adorable kiddos!
Melissa Y
Suz, no way, Jose! the kiddos are truly good-looking kids! I much enjoy reading about them and seeing what is ahead of us (as I mentioned before, we are exactly one year younger). Gorgeous children...simple as that....
You are nice to call that person a troll. I can think of a few more choice names to call them!! Seriously, your kids are adorable!! Thanks for sharing them on your blog.
And to the blog troll...here's some advice for you... long walk...short pier!
Your kids are like my kids, except mine were born almost 2 years apart and I only have three of them. Anyway, my oldest has a round Mommy face and my middle one has a long narrow Daddy face, and the baby is undecided.
Okay, I'm coming out of the blogging shadows to say how much I LOVE reading your blog and how CRAZY that person is. Your kids are adorable---but everyone knows that...that person has some serious issues and had no right to comment in such a rude manner. Good for you for putting then in their place! Anyhow...moving on- you are a great writer, your posts usually make me laugh and I bet you talk just like you write! LOVE it! Keep up all the pics and posts---there are wayyyyyyy more nice people reading than the mean person that wrote that awful (and untrue) comment! :)
Those boys have cute perfect heads! I know what you mean. Someone once told me my preemie daughters head was shaped like a toaster and that this is typical of preemies! So mean!
I keep coming back to this post, shocked and awed that someone would be so ignorant. Suz, your children are beautiful and I am so glad that you can see that and not get caught up in someone else's crazy.
WOW!! People are ridiculous!! I love keeping up with your gorgeous bunch!! Hope you all are doing great!!
Let's pray that, that person doesn't have any children of their own! You have a gorgeous family!! Jealousy is a pathetic trait to carry around!
like many other moms here - I read your blog all the time and never comment... But seriously???!
preemie pinched head? WTH is it anyway?!
I just think the troll is jealous (and who wouldn't be? Your kids are gorgeous and look extremely happy and you're an amazing mommy!).
It's really sad that they had the urge to share their jealousy and general unhappiness with you but at the end of the day, you have your beautiful family, what do they have? :)
I'm so sorry, I still don't understand what it is wrong with people?
your babies are beautiful!, don't let stupid people take away your joy
:)
that person totally is a troll and obviously doesn't have children. no one with children is going to waste their valuable time posting rude comments on other people's blogs. what a moron! and i think it's great that you called them out publicly. i hope they take the time to read the comments and realize what a sad state of affairs their life is in. keep posting, girl! i love to read them all.
As Michelle from Full House used to say... HOW RUDE!!! Your kids are beautiful and criticizing a child's appearance is one of the most heartless things a person can do.
{Sigh}
You didn't have to explain this to the MAJORITY of us, Suz. We love them and YOU for who you are, and you gave birth to 4 amazingly beautiful Littles. They are perfectly and wonderfully made, were knitted in your womb, and loved by their Creator.
Chin up, Friend. There's a lot of ugliness out there, just continue to rise above it! =)
I have browsed your blog for a couple of years but don't think I've ever commented. I have NEVER thought your kids were anything but freaking precious!!! BOOO to this loser! Get a life...and get your vision checked! Seriously.
Your quads are about the same age as my daughter and I love reading your blog. It's hilarious and you and Joe seem to have a great sense of humor. Love it! Keep up the good work raising your beautiful children :)
Those babies have beautiful, perfect heads!!! That was just stupidity. Or jealousy. Whatever. LOVE the Steece kiddos!
I like many have never commented but have been following for a long time. Why in the world people have to be so mean is beyond me...your children are absolutely adorable and you are an AMAZING mom. I have a 14 month old and I admire you so much. What you do with four children most can't do with one!!
I'm loving that you not only called out the troll, but you proved them wrong. Way wrong. Your babies are adorable!
What is wrong with people? If you wouldn't say it out loud, don't write it in a comment, text, email... Those are perfectly normal looking little boys. When I was little, I had an extremely large head. Luckily my mother didn't have a blog where people could insult her little girl. This is why so many bloggers are going private and that's a real shame. I get a lot of enjoyment catching up with strangers in a different part of the world that I will probably nevery visit.
Your children are beautiful and whoever said that is the one with the problem. I love your blog and always look forwarding to hear about your travels and what the children are up to each day. They are so precious.
Wow! Some peoples' kids! I can not believe that someone would talk about your kids that way...any kids! Your kiddos are beautiful!! Love reading all about your adventures and what you all are up to. It's just too bad that some people haven't found a hobby and ruin it all!
Don't let the blog trolls get you down!! Your kids are adorable, your blog is awesome, and some people are just haters!
Wow... you open your family up to bloggers and then someone has to be so ignorant... I am truly sorry that you even had to read that post. It makes you wonder what planet they are from.
and jealous.. definitely jealous!! U have a loyal loving handsome hubby.. adorable kiddos.. a beautiful home.. nice big ol truck.. popular blog.. jealousy jealousy jealousy!!
Beautiful children. The end.
Really? Those trolls need lots of prayers. The only reason someone would make fun of a kid is to make them feel like they were better than the kids, right? Some people amaze me (in a terrible way!) Suz, you and your family amaze me in an awesome way!
Your kids are the cutest! LOVE your blog!!!!
Totally forgot to post this earlier...Joe still looks EXACTLY like he did when he was a kid! I cannot look at that picture and not sing "I don't wanna grow up, I'm a toys r us kid!" It's awesome!!!! He still makes that expression...cracks me up!!!!
Wow. That is just wrong!
OMG! Those boys look just like their daddy! I love when I can see the parent in the kid! Sav and Ben look just like you!
I like the shape of their heads better than mine! I like to describe it as blockhead. Thank goodness I finally grew some hair to hide it. I still cringe when I see the baby pictures!
What the what?! I can't believe someone wrote that! Your children are adorable!
Are you kidding me???!!! Good grief. Ummmmm...ditto what everyone else has said. Your kids are adorable!!! ALL 4 of them. E & D do not have pinched preemie head. Blog troll needs to have her eyes checked...and heart checked b/c it seems as though she's missing one.
Your children are beautiful! and I absolutely love reading your blog!
You're kids are all adorable!! I cannot believe that someone would try to come up with something so nasty (they obviously had to make up something because there's NO truth in their statement) and actually post a comment!! Sounds like someone is really jealous of your adorable children and happy family. Your kids are too cute.. all of them!!
Haters! What's wrong with people?
Your blog was linked to my niece's, also a quad mom. I've been reading it ever since the kids were babies, and I keep checking back because I love watching them grow into the beautiful people they have become. The only thing I have noticed about your boys' heads is that they have those HUGE smiles in them 95% of the time. They look like they could light up all of Texas with their smiles and twinkling eyes. They (all four) brighten my day every time I see your new posts. And I love reading your comments...you are too funny!
Suz, you have GOT to be kidding me! I'm dying to know who that person is who could say something that RIDICULOUS. Your kids are the CUTEST EVER!!!
Some people are just so rude. Your kids are adorable. I have identical twin boys also, and I was told that it is very common for one, or both, to have long narrow faces. Your twins are handsome and so are mine. I am peeved about it.
All 4 of your kiddos are just so adorable, Suz. Infact, Ethan and Andrew especially melt my heart because they seem so sweet (not that Ben and Sav don't) and they look a lot like my little boy in the face (who was 8 lbs. 10 oz. at birth, btw). :)
Suz-so sorry people are idiots. Love u and those precious little "pinched head preemies"...HA. They are their fathers boys and have looked like Joe from the minute they were rolled into the nicu. Nothing to do with being preemie, it's called genetics people!!!!
I've been reading for awhile now but have never commented...but that troll is insane. Your kiddos are gorgeous and, having spent many, many days in the NICU with my twins, I know what "preemie head" looks like--and your boys do NOT have that! Those kind of comments make me so freaking mad. Your troll is just jealous of your gorgeous, happy family. Their own inner unhappiness was taken out on you and your kids--SOOO not cool. Hang in there and rise above...
HUGS xoxo
Your kids are darn right adorable!! Sounds like someones just jealous!
I literally can only come up with one reason: Jealousy. That is the only explanation!!!
They are miracles, perfect and all things beautiful.
So sorry~
J
Looks like you have lots of readers who never comment (me included). :)
Love your blog and reading about your precious cuties!
What the heck is this preemie pinched head anyways? I've never heard of such a thing.
Ignore the haters!
QuatroMama said it all! And seriously...Joe's smile has never changed - cracks me up!! Hugs, friend!!
It's sad that you even had to make this post. Your kids are BEAUTIFUL and perfect. Don't listen to anyone that says differently.
Absolutely beautiful kids. Boo to whoever would write such a mean thing on your comments. They need to get a life! Don't let it bother you. You have many people who love your family and your blog!
Jealousy, that's what it is. Why else would someone write something so ridiculous?? Your kids are adorable...
Um, frequent reader, infrequent commenter here (one of many it seems)--your kiddos are so stinkin' adorable. I haven't the slightest clue what that troll is even talking about. But really, who makes fun of children?
"Pathetic, SAD individuals" is right.
You're such a fun family--I love keeping up with your blog :)
You have absolutely beautiful/handsome kids.Not matter what others say. Their smiles are soo beautiful (like their mom's).
Thanks for sharing your life with us!
I am a longtime reader/ first time commenter. A- your kids are adorable and the twinkies are definately spitting images of their dad. B- Your blog rocks! C- I hope you don't let a troll of a person, whom obviously has issues of their own if they have the odacity to pick on kids, get to you because it's obvious by all the positive comments, that you are awesome, your kids are awesome and cute, and we all love your blog. :)
Your kids are adorable and perfect. I find it sad that you had to defend your children to some anonymous jerk on your own blog! I wish people would grow up and leave other be.
I had a troll once make fun of my 4 year old's speech on my blog. People like that, who need to make hurtful comments about beautiful children of God, need to crawl back into the hole they came out of!
That makes me angry that a person could be so ugly! I have never left a comment but love to read your blog! This just sat me off! Your kiddos are beautiful!
Your kids are super cute and have lovely heads! Boo to the blog trolls and any others who get their kicks by being mean.
Hilary
you have four beautiful children!
LW
get 'em girl! i have followed your blog for a long time but never really commented. i know you don't have to be told how absolutely precious your kiddos are - but they really are. sad and pathetic is soooo right. i feel like i pry into your life b/c i don't know you but follow along...i just love your stories about your kids....i have followed since your kids were tiny babies...and it's funny b/c E&A remind me so much of my son Matthew and Ben reminds me so much of my other son Davis (twins born just a few weeks before your guys and girl :) ) anyway, much love to your family....don't worry about pathetic lonely jealous individuals with nothing better to do than spew venom and hatred...your light overshines them any day of the week. :)
don't you love how someone doesn't have the guts to say something to your face, or even leave their name, but feel it is ok to write out nasty comments on your blog. that is one downfall of technology. as everyone else said, your kids are adorable and whatever a preemie head is, it doesn't matter if they have it or not. they're beautiful inside and out.
gotta laugh at the comments about joe's expression. he does still make that face all the time in your blog pictures and it makes me laugh each time. he seems like he'd be a fun guy to hang out with.
There are some sick, miserable people in this world whose only goal in life is to make others as miserable as them. Don't listen to them. Your children are precious angels and cute as can be.
You have adorable children. I wouldn't let anyone tell you otherwise.
People are crazy and your kids are adorable!!!
Your kids are gorgeous, healthy, and happy. Why someone felt the need to try to bring you down with a comment like that is beyond me. But jealousy breeds bitterness in people.
((big hugs)) So sad that people are so mean. Your kids are adorable!
That's the most absurd thing I've ever seen. What is wrong with people? Your kids are adorable and beyond cute.
First time delurker here too, but you have THE most adorable children I've ever seen. Don't you dare feel the need to defend them against some troll with nothing better to do and who probably has no children herself. Your family is perfect.
Like so many, I'm a follower, but not a commenter... but wanted to say two things. First, you handled this situation with a lot of grace. And, second, your troll's comment says more about him/her as a person than it does about you and your kids. To make fun of children is pathetic - and someone doing so must feel really terrible about him/herself to have to put some crazy four year olds down to lift him/herself up.
May you be filled with more love, forgiveness, and grace than expected in the coming days and weeks...
Your kids are aborable BUT that picture you posted of Joe is absolutely hysterical! A comical personality radiates from that picture. Suz how do you contain your laughter?
I love your blog and your quad are super duper cute!!!
Stacy
Boo to rude people! Your children are precious and beautiful!
Can't say it any better than the others above. Your twinkies are gorgeous and the troll is jealous.
I've only ever noticed those big beautiful smiles on E and A.
Seriously?? I've never commented but I have been reading your blog since the kids were about 1 year old, you have the most adorable children!!!! I can't believe how rude some people are. Your kids ROCK!!!
Wow. People are amazing. Thanks for putting yourself out there. Love reading about your little {gorgeous} family.
Isn't it just amazing how people make comments......I have a co-worker that I can not stand for many reasons) that proceeded to tell me when she was looking at a picture of my daughter I had on my desk "looks like she is finally growing into those big lips she was born with" are you kidding me.... first of all her lips are not big, and so what if they were! and 2nd of all you mean nothing to me so stop looking at my daughter's picture. UGH!
Suzanne- I don't think I have ever commented on your blog, but I have been reading it since the quads were born. I am friends with Maureen, whom with you went to Nursing school. Anyhow, I am in disbelief at that comment. That's absolutely awful and I hope that are now ashamed. I have always thought that your children were the absolute cutest kids ever. I am sorry you had to endure that. Shame on them!!
Lol! What people say to make themselves feel better. I also have a son with a long, narrow head- just like his daddy's. He's as cute as cute can be too....just like your two are! All your kiddos are beautiful- you are a blessed woman!
Your children are GORGEOUS, and it sounds to me like someone is jealous.
What kind of loser picks on little children?
Seriously? Get a life.
You might call them blog trolls, but I call them bullies!
There are no other words to describe her/him.
However, I can say that your blog brings me great joy and you are all BEAUTIFUL!
Bullies is absolutely right...
Your kiddos are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Wow. I could write some really mean things here, but I'd rather just leave love. Because good lord do you have some ADORABLE babies!
I love reading your blog, and your children are all adorable!
Davina
Seriously, I can not believe someone would do that. Your kiddos are absolutely adorable! Big hugs to you & your beautiful kids! Thanks for sharing your life with us - I hope the good outweighs the bad. xoxo - Amy in Plano
Hi Suz,
I'm sorry that happened. That was very hurtful. This person is probably very sad and thought hurting someone with words would make them feel better.
I agree with the comment that they are fearfully and wonderfully made.
I wouldn't think about the negative comment another second.
I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your beautiful children.
Erin
Ooooooh.... that just got this Momma FIRED UP!!! I had to join ranks with the other 111 folks who posted here and say BOO to that ridiculous person who would DARE to say that! Your children are GORGEOUS PERFECT MIRACLE-GIFTS from the Almighty God. THE. END. :)
I'm a long time reader, first time commenter (is that a word?). It's disgusting to think that a grown person would take the time to critique physical attributes of a child. Your children are beautiful. We must pray for these people who have such dislike for themselves that the only way that they can feel pleasure is through someone else's pain.
Your children are beautiful! Been following you for years!!!! I was on clomid with baby boy #1 who is now 3. Baby boy #2 was born in April. Love your positive attitude, your organization, and your energy level. Thanks for opening your world to your readers!
LOVE your blog, never comment but have been reading forever all the way from Ireland!
Your little ones are gorgeous, I can't understand why anybody follows a blog to spread negativity. Please don't give them one thought, they don't deserve your time, just keep devoting it to those who deserve it -your little people x
No need to jump on the bandwagon here, but what is WRONG with people? No wonder there are so many mean kids in the world...there are too many mean adults.
Anyway, I also wanted to say that I wish you had posted that comment so the rest of us could reply directly to said troll. I mean, really, it's only fair that they end up with a bajillion responses. They're certainly welcome to their opinion....but the rest of us would love to share a piece of OUR minds with them ;-)
Like so many others, I read your blog all the time but don't comment often. This post definitely warranted a response. Your kids are so stinkin CUTE it's not even funny!! For someone to comment on the shape of their heads is absolutely absurd to me! I totally agree with those that said the only explanation for such a comment is pure jealousy! Misery loves company and so he/she was only trying to bring you down with them.
Hugs to you and your four little cuties!!
OMG, I hadn't seen that comment but thats sickening. Your kiddies are too cute.... good for you for calling them out.
Ok, wait...seriously?? Somebody had the AUDACITY to say your kids had pinched preemie heads? What the CRAP?? I'm so upset by this!! Your kids are PERFECT!
Amazingly adorable kiddos. Hope you always remember it.
Oh my word! I have loved enjoying each of your children grow for years now! They are beautiful childens all a perfect extention of their parents, that was uncalled for, your response was well said and much needed!
What is wrong with people?? Your kids are gorgeous, end of story. I'm sorry someone decided to be an idiot. I'll hope that they were trying to say something else and it came off as ignorant and rude... although I still can't figure out a nice way to take that comment. Keep posting, we love hearing about the Steeces!
Whoever said that is jealous. You are so incredibly blessed with beautiful, BEEEAAAUUUTTTIIFFFULLL children! My hubby and I are always talking about how blessed we are our children are cute (I know, sounds snobby, but you know what I mean) and we quickly point out other kids who are "almost" as cute as ours ... lol! YOURS are most definitely CUTE - in EVERY way possible!
Oh and YAY for round basketball shaped heads! This mama is right there with ya! ;)
I tell you what, people are bold aren't they?? I went private with our blog (I'm a good friend of Jordan Adams, now Penick!) all bc some blog troll (love it) left a comment asking if I knew my kid looked like Screech. Yes, it makes me kinda chuckle now (so u can too!) : ) but the moment I read it, I seriously could not BELIEVE someone could be so horrid about a child. Yes he had a curly fro, but on PURPOSE! And why would you say that just to be mean??! So my point is, you're not the only one, and I love calling them out!! It feels so good!!!
Your kids and blog are adorable!! Keep it up!!!
I will add to the list of people commenting. I have been following your blog for a while now and love to read each and every new post. Your family is beautiful and sooo intriguing. How someone could say something so ugly about two precious and perfect little boys is unthinkable... I bet that troll won't be commenting around here anymore... The rest of us mommies might just have to hack into his account and figure out who he is. Behind you, Suz!! Your family could not be anymore AMAZING!!!
Trolls make those comments so they can get a rise out of people which they did. Low self esteem, no friends, jealous, lots of reasons to do what they did. It had nothing really to do with the kids. The troll just knew what button to push and that button was talking about your children. It is all very said. Your children are beautiful, but no one really has to tell you that. You've known that since the minute they were born.
