Here is the Maxwell summary I've been working on. It'll probably take up a few posts. The Family Members and Basic Family History Parents: Steve and Teri Children: Nathan, Christopher, Sarah, Joseph, John, Anna, Jesse, Mary Nathan is married to Melanie (née Maher). They have six children "on Earth" as fundies say: Abigail Hope, Bethany Faith, Christina Mercy, Andrew James (referred to as Drew), Benjamin Steven and Deborah Carol. Their first child, Susannah Joy, was born in March 2007 but sadly died three days later, having shown no signs of life, of an unknown cause. Christopher is married to Anna (née Hamilton) (referred to as NR-Anna by FJers and Anna Marie on the blog). They have six children: Joshua Christopher, Ruthanne Elizabeth, Lydia Joy and Daniel Titus, Elizabeth Grace and newest addition Simon Peter. (Yes, they did re-use Ruthie's middle name. Guess they only have a limited pool of names). Whilst still pregnant with Simon, Anna was diagnosed with a lump in her breast; which was confirmed as breast cancer. She has undergone chemotherapy and other treatments and things appear to be going well. Joseph is married to Elissa (née Frost). They have three children, Calia Grace, Kyle Jeremiah and Caleb Alexander. John is married to Chelsy (née Bontrager). They have two sons, Axton John (born January 2019) and Elliot Rex (born June 2020). Chelsy is currently pregnant with #3, due in late September. Jesse is married to Anna (née Craig). As with Joseph, no mention was made of the relationship on the blog prior to a photo being shared on the day of the wedding, which was on 23rd May 2020 during the time of coronavirus. There are no children or pregnancies as of their first anniversary (that we know of). FAMILY HISTORY Steve and Teri married in August 1974, on Teri’s 19th birthday. They were not “saved” until a few years into marriage. Originally, they were relatively “normal”; Nathan and Christopher went to school (admittedly a private Christian one, but still school), they played sports, Sarah occasionally wore pants. It was at this time that Teri began suffering from depression. In Managers of their Schools (more later), Teri includes a letter to her mom about how she suffered from depression and couldn’t wait for Sarah to enter school as well, yet despite this she decides to homeschool. Steve had also had a vasectomy. At one point, Steve decided to read the Bible to see what it said about children, began weeping (this is a common thing in this family) and decided to have the vasectomy reversed. Bear in mind, Teri could barely cope with the three she had. Joseph is seven years younger than Sarah. Youngest child Mary recently celebrated her 21st birthday. Teri began homeschooling in 1985; Mary graduated in 2015, allowing Teri to claim that she had homeschooled for thirty years. Just in case you had no idea/forgot what Steve and Teri look like:

Maxwell 50: Maxhell Has Frozen Over. Anna and Mary Are Off to College and Sarah Moves Out!

Ok after much consideration I decided to have a top 10 WTF moments in Maxhell. Here goes in no particular order. 1. Crying when Nate moved across the street. 2. Taking Nate and Chris out of Little League 3. Steve freaking out over accidently seeing cleavage 4. Ruthie and Lydia wearing skirts over snowpants. 5. Bethy's bare belly being colored over at her baptism. 6. Row Row your boat lyrics being whited out. 7. Jesse (or was it John) being forced to give up guitar because he was good at it. 8. Steve pressuring Chris to give up his dream of being an EMT. 9. Remembering aborted babies instead of soldiers killed in action on Memorial Day. 10. Teri and Steve spazzing out over Nate and Melanie's rehearsal dinner.

Maxwell 44: Must We Permit Mephistopheles and Beelzebub to Perform Financial and Performance Audits
Coconut Flan posted a topic in Maxhell
Continued from here: This is admittedly a bit self-serving, but we have reached the end of the vest titles and when my daughter read this to me, it fit the Maxwells so well that I had to use it. It's a line from a rebuttal to Proposition Y in Glendora, CA, that is so fundie we couldn't quit laughing. -
Maxwell 43: Divesting from the First Church of Stevehovah Reversalist

Continued from here: Title is from @JemimaPuddle-Duck and is in honor of sons moving away from the borg collective and potentially setting up their own rules and having families who may dress to suit themselves 6 3/4 days of the week.

Continued from here: Because I don't feel good from lupus, I'm taking the easy way out today on the title. I think credit goes to @IsmeWeatherwax. If I'm wrong, my apologies to who did make it up. The kids of Nathan and Christopher may be getting to have what some may call fun with Terri as she provides swimming lessons once again. Side stroke - it is a thing!

Continued from here: Interrupting the side discussions with our last (so far) vest title in honor of Jesse selling his renovated house to move into an apartment with Anna. Title thanks to @IReallyAmHopewell.

Maxwell 39: Like Sands Through an Hour Glass, so Are the Vests of Our Lives
Coconut Flan posted a topic in Maxhell
Continued from here: With this thread, we bid fond farewell to our list of vest thread titles. I have one more title in reserve for the next thread and near the end of that one will ask for more contributions so you have some time to think of good ones. Please hang onto them so I can gather them in one bunch if you will, please. -
