As you have probably already knew, we are the Levine family. Most of you will already know us quite well, but for those of you who want to know more about us, here is a little background.
Ben (Daddy) was born in Memphis was back in the 1980s (even before Apple brought us the home computer). Once he graduated from high school, he thought it would be fun to go to college at Washington University in St Louis and the wheels were set in motion. After 4 fun filled years at Wash U, he got his first job working at SBC (which later became AT&T and in 2006, he met Sara (Mommy). Like all great romances, they met in the usual place (online) through the Jewish dating site JDate.
Sara was born and raised in St Louis. She is also a child of the 80s and loved growing up in St Louis. After she graduated from high school though, she decided to go see what the rest of the world was like. She could have picked a big city like San Fransisco or New York, but instead decided corn fields and boring rides were the thing for her and headed to Des Moines, IA to go to Drake Univeristy. After 4 years of blistering cold winters and mountains of snow, she came back to St Louis and started working as an elementary teacher at Maplewood Richmond Heights Elementary.
After a whirlwind romance, they got engaged in September of 2006 and married the next June. Their family grew in the usual way, two dogs (Bear and Mouse) and a cat named Fox. After a while though, they decided to add a baby to the mix. In August of 2009, Eliot joined the family. He's now a rambunctious almost three year old. On Leap Day 2012, Eliot became a big brother when Theodore (Teddy) joined the family. Along the way, Ben and Sara have both changed jobs. Ben is now helping run the web development team at Build-A-Bear Workshop and Sara is now a thirds grade teacher at MICDS.
