Outside Adventures

 His new scooter is a great favorite.

The broken skitter car will always hold a special place in Christian's heart.  

If this little guy suddenly disappears, he can usually be found outside (in all temperatures) just chillin' out. He loves to be outside, and he and Sarah love to do chalk together in the evenings. That, or he'll be bouncing with Mary on the trampoline.

Daddy's Birthday 2013

This is old news I know (we have to time travel back to March) but I think it's so sweet I had to include it in the blog. Christian spent at least an hour on this painting for Daddy. He really put effort into it, and was so proud to present it when it was time for gifts. 

Hogle Zoo

 Love those smiles. 

                                     

Christian was getting a little stir-crazy, so Mom decided it was time to call up cousins Katie and Anna and go on a little field trip to the zoo. Christian had a total blast! 

Mary's Graduation

Christian loved joining Mary at Centerville Elementary in her classroom for her "Doctorate Degree" ceremony where all the kids who've made certain requirements earn a certificate. He was tickled to sit on her lap and meet all her friends. 

Fireman Sam

One of Christians favorite shows is Fireman Sam. In the morning you can usually find him, in full fireman get-up, parked in front of the computer belting out "SAM IS THE HERO NEXT DOOR!" 

Tramp Mural

Christian simply loves chalk. One too-hot day Sarah had the idea to draw on the tramp where it was shady. Kate, Christian and Grace had a blast coloring in Sarah's drawings or creating their own pictures. 

Sleepover

Christian just adores cousins Grace and Eva. Both of them took turns having sleepovers with Christian, and this is just a few pics from Grace's.
