The Men of the House

Charles is a very hands on kid.  So when presented with the opportunity last night to help dad get the ramp for the chicks put together, he was all over it!  It was a heart-warming moment on a soul-warming balmy night with a hint of lilac in the air.
First whack of the thumb.  He gritted through it, and bit back possible tears, yet did not complain once or want to stop, just kept working.
Lining it up.  Charles is a total switch hitter.  He is absolutely left handed, he writes left handed, shoots a bow and bee bee gun left handed, yet he throws right handed and hammers quite effectively with both right and left hands....though I think the left hand is dominant.
Proud daddy looking on at the progress.
I know I get frustrated when a nail goes sideways, but oh no, he perseveres.
Teamwork and bonding 
at the end of a warm day, priceless.
