The Mull family.

Christopher is surrounded by the love and support of his parents Karen and Kevin and his 3 siblings.

Connor (7) is in the first grade loves to play lacrosse and soccer . He likes school, but says he is “more ready for the end of the day when he can come home and have fun with his siblings”.  Connor surprises us daily at how grown up he has become and how quickly he is changing into a young boy.  Connor fills his roll as the oldest with no problem. He is always ready to carry an extra bag into the house, run after his little sister, help with an extra chore and more. We are lucky to have such a great helper.

Casey (5) is our sweet and  funny guy.  He can’t wait to go to kindergarten next year at “Connor’s school” . He often times wears the school uniform to his preschool just so he can look like Connor.  Casey enjoys puzzles, school, playing with friends and riding his bike. He plays soccer - but I can’t say he enjoys or is very good at it yet.  Casey keeps our family in check, slows us down to remind us of all the little things in life and finds pleasure in everyday activities.  Casey could give out 100 hugs and still be ready to cuddle some more.

Christopher (3) is our special boy. Despite the medical issues he has faced in his short life so far, he is nearly always  happy. He greets every passerby with a big “hi” and anxiously awaits there returned response.  His runs with open arms and a huge smile to greet anyone who comes to the house and Kevin and I as we come home from work. 

Catherine “Callie” (1) is our only girl and she knows it. She is tickled by the fact that her brother’s enjoy her so much. She and Christopher are great companions. Callie motivates Christopher to keep one step ahead.  Fortunately, Callie doesn’t mind playing the girl role and after much effort we have successfully interested her in dolls! We are confident that Callie will continue to be a close companion and support to Christopher.

As a family we feel blessed with 4 wonderful children. We are thankful that Christopher has both older and younger siblings that adore him.  Christopher’s seizures will continue to be an issue, but he will fortunately never have to face this alone.
