Two of Max’s favorite people are “Grandma and Steve” — and they are rarely mentioned separately. Steven is our nephew who was given the nickname “Steve” a few years ago. Contrary popular belief (and the running joke around our family) “Steve” is not Patsy’s middle-aged boyfriend, though it sounds like it when Max casually tells friends/teachers/family about how excited he is to go see “Grandma and Steve.” We were able to visit a couple weeks ago for Big 12 workshop in OKC. Our tendency is to overbook our social calendar and be coming and going during these visits. However (despite an impromptu train trip to Dallas to car search… in which we visited several sketchy chop shops, drove a total of 2 cars, lost my cell phone, and sat very VERY near the train whistle with an infant) we took things slow and enjoyed our time with family!
