Sad, sad puppy dog

The past few days our son has been visiting us from Tennessee. Well, when he left today, he left behind a very sad puppy.  Lita loved having Christopher here and was not happy to see him leave.

Within a few minutes after he left Lita drug her blanket over by the door that Christopher left out of and brought her baby and ball and laid down to mourn his leaving. We could not console her for a while.

Happy Birthday Christopher

 Wishing my son, Christopher a happy 27th birthday today.

Happy Birthday, Christopher

Happy 25th Birthday, Christopher!!

Wow, I cannot believe that our son, is 25 years old today. I remember VERY vividly the night (morning, 1:59 am to be exact) he was born. Time sure flies when you are a parent. Christopher is such a wonderful young man. We have truly been blessed by having him as our son. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for him in the years to come. He has blessed so many peoples lives and I know he will continue. He is a true inspiration of what a godly young man looks like. We pray for him daily, that God will continue to lead and guide him. We also pray for the wonderful young lady that God is preparing for him.

Well, Son, thank you for being such a wonderful young man. I love you so much and am very proud of the young man you have become. Stay close to God and let Him direct your every step. Looking forward to many more 25 years to come.

Christopher had a suit taylor made for himelf while he was in the Middle East. he looks REALLY sharp in it.

I am so thankful that he is a godly man, so he does not allow the world to influence his beliefs. He has remained strong in his relationship with God.
