Pregnant Belly Tag

You likely already know this by now, buuut we've got Baby Steele #4 growing away! We knew we'd like one more for our family, but we couldn't decide when. So we didn't. We just told the Lord of our desire and asked Him to lead...

This is a 36-week belly. And today we're already 37 weeks! Baby has definitely dropped. (I'm nearing the point where I'm certain if he/she drops any lower, they'll just fall out, but Midwife Shannon assures me there's a much longer process to the whole thing.)...

SENIOR FLUTE RECITAL Several weekends ago, we drove down to OSU to watch Erin's senior recital. It.was.incredible! We always knew we had a great performer in the family (James' mom is a fabulous flutist as well!), but this recital just blew us away! Corban did well listening and...
