So today (the 28th) my "baby" turned 2.....where did the time go? Could he REALLY be the same age of some of the kiddos I used to teach??? Sigh.... What a wonderful 2 years though. I have grown so much. I never realized how selfish I was (and still am..I'm a work in progress) until I had him. I never understood what it meant to WANT to die for someon...I do now!!! He brings so much joy to Andy and I's life. The things he says, the little quirky things he does, the different parts of Andy and I that come out every once in awhile, it's all been a joyeous ride. I'm sad that he is 2.... I am now a parent of a toddler, GAG. :) But I plan on enjoying each moment of his second year. Each season of his life I will enjoy, or force myself to enjoy if I have to. What a wonderful gift you are my son. I can't wait to see what God does with your life. I am proud to be your Mom, I am proud to call you my firstborn and my son. No matter where life takes you or where life ...

Well a few things to mention that are "new" for the Steinmann family. First on my weight loss journey I have lost 13 lbs in 4 weeks and I'm SO excited about it!! I'm on track and can't wait to see how many more I can lose!! :) Second, about 2-3 weeks ago we received some sad news that our pastor from church was let go. So Andy and I began questioning our membership there. So we began just trying new places and seeking God out for guidance. We visited Northside Christian Church and loved it. The only problem was location, it would be hard to be involved, especially as Maddux grew older. A friend of ours invited us to James River Assembly. We decided to "give it a try" thinking that there is NO WAY that we would end up there.. So we went, and guess what? We loved it! There are aspects that we want to know more about but their children's ministry is AMAZING!!! And really when I'm honest to myself that is the most important thing for me. I am a Chris...
