Maxwell 33: Managers of Their Vests

[Markie]

Sarah really does not share many pictures of John and Chelsy. You figure she might have at least inserted a photo of Axton and the fabulous birthday celebration. 

[terranova]

They only seem to be on the blog when they get pregnant and then again when Elissa has the baby. I personally find it quite refreshing.

[anjulibai]

As always, I hope it's a boy. 

[SPHASH]

I had a feeling Invisible Elissa was pregnant since Fathers Day.

Maybe they don't allow Axton to be photographed for the blog? Maybe they're the Meg and Harry of the Maxwells!  ????

There have been pictures, though, on the Bontrager blog.

He’s in a couple of pictures in the background.  See, here he is. Staring directly into your soul as usual:

I don't think Uncle Forgotten Jesse needs help blowing out his candles or opening his gifts for that matter.

Yep--just like M/H! The choose the outlet ??

Of course they have to get in a little message about being a family who welcomes children as a gift from the Lord  

Such a pity that Sarah is highly unlikely to have her own. I wonder how she feels at every pregnancy announcement. Her birthday post back in January was the most depressing thing I’ve seen. Her blog bio states that she’s waiting for the right guy, but she HAS to be wondering why it hasn’t happened. She must realise deep down that Steve has been the major barrier here, and I wonder if she secretly resents him for it.

Of course someone is pregnant. It really is as expected in Maxhell just as in any other fundie family. 

Since they are the only family that values childen, what do all you heathens do when someone in your family is pregnant? Call upon satan? Drive her to Planned Parenthood? Refuse to attend a baby shower or birthday party? Lock all the kids in the basement so they don't interfere with your spell practice or potion making?

I don’t value my kids at all.  I sent them to daycare and then public school.  They don’t know anything from the Bible, and after passing a church two weeks ago, my four year old asked whether the princess was in “that castle”. 

(I chuckled and said no but she kept asking where she was so I told her the princess was away doing laundry.... a story she hilariously regurgitated to my older kid who had no idea why a princess was not in a church bc she was doing laundry.)

[OhNoNike]

Also my oldest is friends with a “boy at school who wears ‘girl’ clothes”, doesn’t understand why people hang animal heads on walls and cries when people squish insects.  She made quick friends with a new girl who didn’t know much English last school year.

So, seems like the non caring parent I am seems to be doing okay with them despite only the two bio kids I have (and a much older step kid).... without homeschooling and not memorizing Bible verses. 

I’ll see y’all in hell!

I'm lost in Maxhell. Are both Elissa and Anna Marie pregnant?

They are, and due about the same time. 

Oddly, just like their last babies.

I'm trying to figure out that picture of Jesse blowing out the candles on his cupcakes.  Is that the word Dad written on the door behind him?

I know they worship Steve, but what's that all about?

Yep, the ABC kids continue to have a little more freedom and childhood "fun". I think literally all Anna and Chris's kids do is memorize bible versus. This is even run by grandma and they can't do it, just like when they go to the fair it seems like the can't do the balloons and face paint, but stand in the corner and preach to the other children. Yikes. 

Also, they called it special autumn post. Could there be something actually big, like a courtship?

Oh hell, if it isn't a courtship for one of the daughters, then it isn't worth my time.

Nope, we lock 'em in their rooms 'cause they give us headaches.

Stupid tablet!!!

I don’t get the Dad thing either. I know the Maxwells often write stuff on that door, eg birthday wishes or a specific verse, but Steve’s birthday was last month.

The flip side of this happened to me. My nephew, who was 3 or 4 at the time, was watching an animated movie in which knights in armor were marching toward a castle. He asked me, “What are all those robots doing going to church?”

At a similar age, I went to Gillette’s Castle (the former mansion of a famous actor, now a tourist attraction) with my parents. When we passed the john, I loudly asked, “Is that where the princess goes to the bathroom?”

It wouldn’t surprise me at all if they left that up for a whole damn month because Steve is so worshipped in that house.

I was thinking the same thing. It might have been one of the other kids birthdays but they always need a reminder that dad should be worshipped even when it’s not his birthday.

Smart kids,  you and your nephew.  GIllette's Castle is a neat place to visit;  it would be an awesome place for a slumber party.   The Good speed Opera house isn't far away.

I like “autumn” because it sounds so pretty. But I usually say fall. It’s just more common. 

 "Forever Autumn" by Justin Hayward (of The Moody Blues) is a lovely song.
