Eleven years ago today, Christopher became the fourth member of our family, just eighteen days old. He adds so much life, personality, love, and humor to our home.
For his birthday, he had two friends sleep over and for the first time ever, we put up a tent in our backyard that the boys slept in. They loved it!
They filled it with sleeping bags, pillows, and junk food. Christopher got a new cell phone, so they could have communication with the house. They were a bit scared and had me keep all the outside lights on all night.
These silly eleven year old boys know how to goof around, but they are good boys too. Christopher told me that before they all went to bed, he said a good-night prayer for the three of them out there in the dark.
This is what I mean by goofy boys. Here is Brad.
Here is Matthew.
Then here's the birthday boy.
It was a perfect fall evening to be camping in the backyard.
I love my boy and am so thankful to be his mother. Happy Christopher Appreciation Day!

The tent event looked really fun!
I like that you celebrate these days with your kids. And I think that they feel equally lucky to have you.
