Happy Birthday Christopher!

Happy Birthday Christopher....

A new story began in our family two months ago, on May 4th, 2010 we welcomed Christopher into our family.  Christopher turned 12 this July 4th.

We are so blessed to have this active young man in our lives.  He always has a quick smile and eagerness galore despite the major challenges he has faced in his life.  He has  recovered from major surgery in the midst of strangers he now calls his family.

Happy Birthday Bud!

We are so happy to be your family.
