Angela, now 49, and Brian, 64, announced to family and friends that baby James was born on June 21, 2024.

Sharing photos of the newborn in the NICU, Brian asked his loved ones for “thoughts and prayers.”

“Thanks for all those who have asked about him and his healthy journey and all those good thoughts and prayers. We love you,” he said.

The baby left the hospital later that summer, but Angela and Brian have documented James’ brave battle with serious health issues over the past year.

According to Brian, he was diagnosed with a heart defect at birth, and had already undergone two major surgeries by 10 months old.

After months of struggles, baby James is now on the mend.

“His personality is shining more, with unexpected hand waves, fun giggles and unexpected sweet sounds coming from him,” Brian told his followers.

“Sending love and hugs to all and we are grateful for the continued love, support and prayers.”

Two friends started a GoFundMe to help support the family through baby James’ recovery.

“Through all of this, Brian and Angela firmly believe that prayer is the most important thing they can ask for,” friend Kimberly Lang wrote in the GoFundMe page.

“They know that God hears our prayers, and they ask for continued prayers, good thoughts and well wishes for James’ healing, strength, and the wisdom of his medical team.”

Angela rose to fame as Karen, the ditzy daughter of late superstar Suzanne Somers‘ character Carol Foster on Step By Step.

The hit show aired from 1991 to 1997 on ABC, before moving to CBS.

The sitcom was officially canceled in 1998.

Teen beauty queen Angela was a breakout star of the show, but quit acting after the show’s cancelation.

Angela made a brief return to the public eye on former co-star Christine Lakin’s podcast Worst Ever podcast in 2020.

She claimed she disappeared from the spotlight in part due to an abusive ex-boyfriend, who “drove her apart from everyone she loved in order to control her.”

Show matriarch Suzanne sadly died at 76 after a breast cancer battle in 2023.

Suzanne’s onscreen husband Patrick Duffy, now 76, is still acting, with a recent role on BET drama The Family Business.

Angela’s onscreen sister Staci Keanan is currently working as a lawyer in Los Angeles.

Josh Byrne, who played youngest Lambert-Foster sibling Brendan, was recently spotted by The U.S. Sun near his southern California home looking totally unrecognizable.

Many of the Step By Step cast, including Angela and Christine, reunited at 90s Con in March 2024.

Right now, shoppers can save on seven items at Costco, ranging from the essential to the classic.

At Costco, you can get deals on diapers, eggs and gas, to name a few.

1. DIAPERS

Diapers can get very expensive fast, but Costco has a deal on right now that will save you money.

Costco offers discounts on name brands and also its in-warehouse option, Kirkland Signature.

Right now, Huggies Diapers in all sizes are marked down.

Depending on the size you buy, you can save anything from $8 to $10 per box.

2. EGGS

Americans have faced mass egg shortages already this year, as a deadly bird flu outbreak damaged livestock across the country.

But now, the problem has gotten better, and there are even ways to save at Costco.

One person says, according to the outlet Eat This, Not That: “Eggs are much cheaper from Costco than elsewhere, since the smallest amount you can buy is 2 dozen.

“If that’s not too many to keep around, then you can easily hard boil eggs almost anywhere for a portable, high-protein snack.”

Given the high prices eggs were pushed to earlier this year, shoppers are advised to make the most of the savings.

3. GAS

On the social media platform Reddit, Cotco is a great place to go for gas.

On one thread, a shopper wanted to find out if things are cheaper at Costco.

In the comments, a Reddit user revealed the price they are able to get their gas from at Costco.

The comment said: “My gas savings alone more than pay for my membership at Costco.

“I’m saving an average of $0.30/gal, and I fill up ~14gal/week. Factor in two weeks off per year, that’s 50 weeks * 14gal/week * $0.30/gal = $210 saved on gas.

“The membership was $55 when I got it.”

4. PRODUCE

On another Reddit thread, shoppers claimed that the produce prices alone make shopping at Costco worth it.

A Reddit user highlighted the cheap cost of bananas in particular, which are only $0.50/lb.

The caption said “They provide potassium that will help you stay healthy if you are eating a simple diet.

“Citrus fruits, like oranges or clementines, are also very cheap per pound, you just have to buy several pounds.

“If you eat a banana and an orange every day, you’ll generally be healthier than if you don’t.”

5. ROTISSERIE CHICKEN

A Costco food court classic, the retailer’s famously cheap rotisserie chicken is a great deal.

Shoppers say the price of it justifies the cost of a membership, too.

One shopper notes: “You absolutely can not go wrong with the rotisserie chicken its probably one of the greatest food deals of all time.

“I used to get a couple at a time and turn them into a couple of weeks’ worth of meal prep.”

6. MILA ASIAN FOODS

Costco sells a variety of Mila products, from soup dumplings to packaged noodles.

You can save on several of Mila’s foods compared to rival supermarkets.

The Costco brand is currently $6 off, or $33.99 a box, and reviewers have praised the prices.

Frightening hand signal of quadruple murder suspect Austin Drummond in footage released just hours before his arrest

TERRIFYING footage of the Tennessee quadruple murder suspect has been released as internet sleuths attempt to figure out the meaning behind a hand gesture he made.

Last week, four members of the same family were killed in Tennessee as a 7-month-old baby was left inside of a car seat in a driveway.

The case has since garnered national attention following the manhunt for Austin Robert Drummond, who was captured on Tuesday morning after a week on the run.

The victims were identified as the baby’s parents, Matthew Wilson, 21, and Adrianna Williams, 20; the child’s grandparent Cortney Rose, 38; and Braydon Williams, 15, the baby’s uncle.

The baby was around 40 miles of where the bodies were found, police said.

In footage recorded on Aug. 3, the alleged suspect can be seen sneaking behind a building, making a wave gesture and attempting to open multiple doors.

“It was a pretty unsettling moment to think that this guy that they’re looking for just walked through, right through my yard,” resident Ray Condray told CBS affiliate WBBJ-TV.

The suspect was wearing a camouflage sweatshirt and carrying a black rifle and a backpack as he prowled in the person’s yard.

After the footage was released, internet sleuths worked to dissect one point where the suspect looks over and seemingly makes a hand gesture.

“Looks like He’s signaling to someone else that seems to be out there with him,” one Facebook user wrote.

“Did he look like he was talking to someone or was it just me,” another commented.

Some pointed out that there appears to be a white car in the direction of where the man in the video looked.

“Someone for sure in or beside the car,” a commenter said.

“Looks like the hand signal was telling somebody to go back behind him or either watch behind him.”

“Did he give a sign to the vehicle in the background,” another posted.

Drummond allegedly has connections to Chicago’s Vice Lords, a street and prison gang which some commenters theorized could be the reasoning behind the gesture.

Quadruple murders timeline

Tuesday, July 29: A seven-month-old baby girl was found abandoned in a car seat in the front yard of a residence in Tigrett, Dyer County, Tennessee, at around 3 pm.

Hours later: Four individuals were found dead in Lake County approximately 40 miles from where the baby was located.

Wednesday, July 30: Investigators identify the victims as:

  • Matthew Wilson, 21, (the baby’s father)
  • Adrianna Williams, 20 (the baby’s mother)
  • Cortney Rose, 38, (the baby’s grandmother)
  • Braydon Williams, 15, (the baby’s maternal uncle)

Thursday, July 31: The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation name Austin Drummond, 28, as a suspect in the quadruple homicide.

Friday, August 1: Cops locate Drummond’s damaged Audi A3 abandoned on a road in Jackson. Tanaka Brown has been arrested and is accused of being an accessory to first degree murder after the fact and tampering with evidence.

Saturday, August 2: Agents arrest second man Giovontie Thomas for accessory to first degree murder after the fact. They also locate a Ford pick up truck believed to be connected to Drummond in Dyer County.

Monday, August 4: Dearrah Sanders is the third person to be arrested and charged for accessory to first degree murder after the fact.

Jackson cops also release surveillance footage of Drummond, wearing camouflaged gear, stalking a neighborhood and trying to get into a church building.

Tuesday, August 5: Drummond taken into custody after being captured in Jackson. He was arrested after cops issued a shelter-in-place order following a suspected sighting.

“[H]e just gave a gang sign to someone,” one posted underneath the police video.

“That gesture looked almost like a gang gesture,” another commented.

Since the slayings, police have arrested three other suspects for allegedly helping Drummond on the run.

Officials were offering a $32,500 reward for information leading to his arrest, and were unsure if he was still in the state.

Photos of the capture show Drummond sweaty and dazed as officers hold on to either side of him.

Drummond has a lengthy criminal record, and was just released after serving 13 years in prison for armed robbery and retaliation charges.

The 28-year-old was let out of jail in September, and was charged with attempted murder in December for an alleged incident that happened while in jail.

He was out on bail at the time of the murders.
