and we’re back

in case you were wondering, we are all still alive here at the stepp house. this update is long overdue, and we sincerely apologize for our absence. to say that things have been chaotic would be an understatement.

first of all, emerson has not been the “easy” baby that we so anxiously awaited. in fact, his first six weeks of life were a repeat of jackson all over again. constant crying. inconsolable fussing. nonexistent sleeping. you know, the kind of stuff that makes parents wonder why they decided to have children in the first place. we thought one fussy baby was tough. but two? it has been so bad that when i recently offered to get groceries for kelly, here is the list that she gave me.

i know that is probably funny to you, but the crazy thing is that i think she was serious. it was only after searching for the fourth item that i realized she wasn’t.

but on a brighter note, jackson has really adjusted well to being a big brother. once we brought emerson home and the “fun” began, we immediately wondered how jackson would handle the nonstop crying. then, one evening, i saw firsthand how he handled it. he just simply covered emerson’s face, politely said “shhh”, and walked away. brilliant.

i certainly hope you were able to laugh at some of this. laughter has become crucial to our everyday survival as parents. and, of course, a lot of prayer helps as well. we have so much stuff in the works, including a ton of pictures, more videos, and a new image of both the boys for the top of the website. as always, thank you for thinking of us and following our crazy “stepps”.
