Simply Steigerwalt: A Little Life Update

WOAH. Sorry I have been so MIA the past 2ish weeks! Things have been a little crazy with this whole pandemic& recently with a family issue. Our life has drastically changed, just like I'm sure many of yours did as well. Trying to "home school" my twin boys, while taking care of a baby.. is a little rough. I do know, I am NOT meant to be a home school teacher, or a teacher in general. But, we will make it work.

Matt has also been ordered to work from home. He is still as busy as ever, doing zoom meetings & phone calls most of the day. The boys are still having trouble understanding the fact that just because he's home, they can't bother him all day. lol the whole thing is a work in progress. One slow day at a time...

March in general was a bit rocky for us. Parker got a bug, then Peyton got a bug, so they have been out of school a week before anyone else. Then Arie ended up with the flu. Which was terrifying. Luckily, he responded really well to his medicine & his lungs stayed clear. Thank goodness.

We had a surprise birthday party for my Nana Heaney. No one deserved it more than her!! It was so beautiful. My family from Missouri even came home for it & all of her friends showed up to show her how much she is loved! I only wish we were able to stay longer (we left right after dinner to rush Arie to the Urgent Care). My brother, sister & I got a photographer to take pictures at the party, so I was still able to see how the night went for her. She had a great time & was truly surprised!!

April started off as it always does! My niece Brynn turned 7 & we had a birthday car parade for her with all of her family & friends! It went off perfectly!!! There was about 20 cars filled with people. She was so excited .. I only wish I was able to squeeze her!!!! I love her so much.. we all do!!

We spend most of our days outside as long as the weather allows us. The boys wouldn't care if it was below 0 & pouring rain....they would still try to get outside. Easter was a good day! I spent the morning cooking & then we went to drive by to see the Easter Bunny at our local fire department. We came home, I finished making Easter dinner, & we ate together in the dinning room. After we finished, we got ready & headed down to my parent's t-ball field to play some ball. My entire family walked down for a little & we all eventually walked up to my parents to exchange gifts for the kids. My parents have a huge yard, so it worked out pretty well (social distancing is rough though). The kids were happy to see their cousins, aunt, uncle, grandparents & even my Nana. It was for a short time, but we needed that. I can't wait to hug everyone when this whole thing is over.

Arie turned 7 months TODAY! And he started crawling this weekend!!! I can't believe how big my baby is getting.... its so crazy!! His fourth tooth is about to pop through, & he loves to eat just about anything he can get his hands on. He is an absolute pleasure! Summer is going to be so fun with him & his brothers!!!

I hope everyone had a happy and blessed Easter!!

** I would like to ask everyone to please pray for a close family member of mine who was in an accident recently. It would mean the world to us if you could lift her & her family in prayer. And please, KEEP PRAYING!!!! We love her so much. God can perform miracles....we truly believe that! Thank you in advance!!!**
