Eight years old!

Where has the time gone? I know everyone says they feel that time goes by fast, but I feel that it's happening way too fast. I remember holding this little guy at night when he was a baby. Once he got the flu so bad he threw up for 2 days. I was worried sick, but loved that he let me hold him and WANTED to be held. He has always been such a kind boy with a great big heart. I love his laugh, it's contagious and the way he plays with Izzy always cracks me up. He loves to make people happy and at such a young age he could feel the spirit. I'm all over with this, but I have so many great memories of Christian. He started out with a very questionable "no mama no", but has turned into a very bright, sweet young boy. Here he is on his baptism day....










All the cousins from both sides. You can see Guy on the right hand corner...Max is eyeing him, probably wondering what the Guy was up to.

I LOVE this picture. I'm going to frame it and put it in his room. He looks so grown up!


Four generations. Harold Townsend faught in WWII on an aircraft carrier. He has amazing stories to tell. He is also the kindest, most amazing man I have ever met. He is the true definition of a gentlemen.
Matching! I love the Izzy is a girl. How much fun I'm having!!!
Rumble after the Baptism at our house. That trampoline looks big in this picture.



I appreciate him more and more every day. He's very considerate and patient with me.

Brother in laws! the BEST!

These two played checkers for what seemed like 2 hours. They were very into it!
