Life with Levi
Meet Levi… And Levi’s Mommy
By Amanda Rodeheffer-Olson 

Welcome to life with Levi! It’s been a while since many of you have heard from me (yes, I’m the Amanda Rodeheffer from the Advocate) and a lot has happened since then. 

Obviously, I am now married, and I have a little boy named Levi. He’s a year and a half (19 months to be exact) and he keeps Mommy and Daddy on our toes! He is Levi when he’s good, Levi Gideon when he’s pushing Mommy’s buttons, and just Gideon when he’s really in trouble. 

The three of us live in Ansonia, where I was born and raised. We live less than a mile from my parents and less than a block from my grandparents, so needless to say, Levi is a spoiled little boy! 

Life at our house is never dull… Levi is always getting into something, doing something he shouldn’t be, or just being a boy in general. Daddy sometimes assists in Levi’s mischief, and other times, just encourages it with his laughter. And I’ll admit, I’ve been known to encourage him too! 

Hopefully you will enjoy reading about Levi’s adventures, and misadventures in growing up. You might even get a glimpse at life through his eyes. Either way, it should be a wild ride! 

Whether you have little ones of your own, or just remember the days when your children were little, there should be something for parents of all ages to enjoy.
