Christian's Rites of Passage

Some things are taken very seriously in this family, and embarking on the steps to manhood is one of them. Christian took a big leap in the right direction under Dad's guiding hand this weekend. It was just at sunset, with a slight rain beginning to fall....


























And let me just add...our Dad doesn't believe in self-propelled mowers!

Way to go, Big C! I can only imagine what Dad has in mind for you next...!

If I had a lawn here in Texas I would for sure have him mow it.

OH, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! That baby is not old enough to do that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, it looks like he's quite proud of himself, soooooooooooooooooo! Go get 'em, Big Guy!!! The great thing is that you have at least two other helpers coming up soon so ya'll can take turns! And, even better than that, your yard is not all that big, so you can get it done faster when it becomes boring instead of too much fun! Love ya tons!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO

AWESOME! No self-propelled mower here either and I need Owen to help me push it up the hill in our yard. I'll take a break and put you to work next time you come! Way to go!

Alright!!! It's so great to have sons to do some of the yard work...I know David can't wait until our boys are a little older.
