We love to play at the playground after I get out of school!  My brother, Grayson, loves the slide.

Here I am pushing Grayson in the swing with the help of my friend, Elyse.

Home is a fun place to be, too, especially with brothers!

Grayson and Momma

Here I am teaching Grayson to drive in the grocery store.

Gray ready for school!  He wants to be just like me: carrying his own lunch just like I do.

Howdy!

We also like to play upstairs.  It is a good place for some R and R.

You are right, this is my dragon costume mask.  I am pretty good at sharing with my baby brother.

He is working on feeding himself.

Take a look at the pearls and hard hat!

I love to play the piano. I am taking lessons now.

Here's a major work I finished at school.  I love math!

December

Yes, yes, it has been too long.  

We can only apologize and promise that we will do our best to catch you up and then to keep up.

Yes, these are my brother's dragon wings from Halloween.  They look great, no?!

Clean and adorable

Three Stepp boys . . . 

This is our front yard!

Here's what it looks like at night

Our neighborhood gets very excited about Christmas.  This is our street.  Cool arches, right?

Live tree

Here's my big brother cooking!  Amazing!  I am so proud of him.

December is often wonderful for playing outside down here in sunny Houston.

Our menorah.  Some day I will be old enough to light the candles.

Do you like my tie?  I look just like Daddy!

This is my big brother's first grade class.

Here he is giving a presentation on holidays in Italy.

And here I am on our sailboat!  Bill is standing behind me but I am the helmsman.

There was a hayride tour of our neighborhood.  Here is one of the houses all decorated for the holidays.

Here I am with Daddy on the hayride.

Guess what we all got as an early Christmas present - a piano!

Torchy's Tacos: dreaming of tacos

Yup, I am excellent at the piano.

Granddaddy and Grammy came to visit for Christmas.  Granddaddy is great at reading stories.

And playing games with Owen.

Grammy is great at those things, too.

Merry Christmas!

Here's my brother trying out his new scooter.

I want a go!

Uncle Blake came to visit, too!

New microscope

Scooter fun is so exciting that there's no need to wait to change your PJs.

Pearler bead fun.

I fell and got a boo boo on my nose but I think the ketchup around my mouth is a nice complement.
