summer snapshot weeks 1-2

christopher got done with his first year of high school a couple weeks before the other kids.
the weather was beautiful and he and i cleaned out our side yards.
he mowed lawns and rode his bike to pick blackberries from his great grandfather's yard.

he went a couple times and brought me home some...i made a yummy cobbler with them.
every day he would ask me, 'mom, what can i do to help you' - it was wonderful.
he is such a hard worker and so motivated and never complains at helping -
and does whatever i ask right away...
i told chris i don't know what i'm going to do when he goes to college!

he had one week off of basketball after finals and then he had practice every day.
the three of us had a good time hang'n out in the car on the rides to/from practice.
one day d was laughing so hard at lc's singing and his own singing too...
