Christopher and his brother Alexander recently showed that the bonds of brotherhood can help overcome seemingly impossible obstacles, and sometimes, all that is needed for communication is a “million-dollar smile.”

Stay-at-home mom Melissa Schlemmer and her husband, Ryan Schlemmer, operations manager for a portable storage facility, are proud parents of three children: Alexander, 13, Christopher, 11, and Theodore, 6. They call Forest Lake, Minnesota, home.
