First Snow

On the first snow Christian and Mary were eager to be out (in Christians case in rubber boots and shorts) and had a blast shoveling the heavy snow off the tramp. 

The Piano Guys

Halloween 2012

Grandpa has a soft spot for Christian. He saw this fireman costume at the store and couldn't resist. Christian was thrilled.

Jojo's Birthday

 Christian looks on (with a little jealousy?) as Jordan opens a box of chocolate.

 Jordan is presented with Christian's gift; a picture he drew himself. 

 Christian carefully explains his picture. 

Cool Car

Grandpa's SAAB is the cool car in Christian's book. (Probably in Jordan's too) Jojo is always willing to take him for a short ride when he borrows it for a dance. 

Cuddle Bunny

(Nice photo bomb Jordan)

"Sarah, see how cute? Take a picture!" Christian insisted, so Sarah did. These two have the cutest relationship, and Christian isn't afraid to show how much he loves his Mommy. 

Saturday Fort

Christian and Mary love to build forts in the front room. Mommy doesn't love cleaning them up quite as much. 

Fishing Pit Stop

On the way home out of Scofield after our latest cabin trip, Dad took the kids down to the river for a little fishing. Christian had fun reeling in a few small rainbow trout and even got up the nerve to touch several of them. (He did jump a little when they flopped around though!)

Autumn HIke

Mommy, Christian, and Daddy were feeling cooped up one weekday afternoon, so they set out for an adventure. Christian loved being out with his Mom and Dad and everyone enjoyed the beautiful leaves.  

Sleepy Head

Home Depot Fire Day

 Ashley and Anna Fillmore, Christian, and Mary pose for a picture in a Life Flight helicopter.

 Christian loved the bright red police car. ("Wow, a cool car!!!")

 This policeman's demonstration with his police dog had Christian in stitches. 

 Everyone then headed in for the weekly craft; helicopters!

Corduroy Comes for a Visit

 Watching "Bob the Builder" with his new friend

 (Being comforted by Corduroy)

Ms. Linda (Sister Dowding), Christian's preschool teacher, sends Corduroy home with each of her students for a day. Though his visit could be traumatic at times(C.J. had a few meltdowns), it was cute to see Christian carrying the little bear everywhere with him that day.
