Stevie is 7!

Steven Grundberg, Age 7

My first born turned seven last Sunday. We celebrated with a little party at my dad's house in Galveston. Stevie & David's birthdays kind of got smooshed together this year. They both got presents on both days.

I included this picture because all 3 of us look strange--I'm overexcited, Dad's disgusted and Stevie's obviously perplexed by our present choice

The big acquisitions this year? Slippers, bicycle bells and various "Beyblade" equipment. They do nothing but play with their beyblades all day now.


Jake didn't seem too upset by the lack of attention he was getting. He was actually quite the grump the entire time.

Steven Sr. was running around taking random pictures with the camera, such as me setting the table...

And of course, one of the meat. Wouldn't be a Howsley get-together without a huge helping of BEEF!

Such a goofball...

Like Father, Like Son


And now, for Stevie's birthday interview:

HIS ANSWERS:
What's your nickname? Stevie (Now that he’s officially “StevEN”, I guess Stevie Beans is gone.)
What's your Favorite Song? Freedom (It’s a Jazz tune—Charles Mingus---they listen to it as they fall asleep)
If you were a superhero, who would you be? A Power Ranger (See? SEE? It’s all we eat, drink and breathe over here! Curse you, Netflix)
What will you be doing at age 21? Going on a mission (Or coming home from one???)
What's the silliest thing you do? I do crazy puppet shows. (He does actually---with a homemade sock puppet named “Larry.” Jacob thinks they’re hilarious.)
What's the best thing about you? I have really good hand-writing

MY ANSWERS:
What's Stevie's nickname? Stevie G., Stevie Pie

What's His Favorite Song? He and his brother are CONSTANTLY singing Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite.” Constantly.
If Stevie were a Superhero, who would he be? He would be Super Gadget Man, because he’s constantly creating new gadgets to help him fight crime, be a spy, etc.
What will Stevie be doing at age 21? Hopefully, returning from a mission and going on to pursue his double major in rocket science and pre-med.

What's the best thing about Stevie? There are so many “best” things about Stevie—he thinks things though. He always figures things out. He feels very deeply. He’s discouraged easily, but elated just as easily. He sympathizes with people. He loves his family. He always does his part. He’s simply amazing and we’re so lucky to have him.
