Brotherly Love

  It has been a great month, and what a wonderful time to be so THANKFUL for our boys to get along.  We've witnessed more laughing than crying together these days and it makes us so happy!  Here are some adorable examples...


Holden is helping Rhys put on his shoes to go to school.  


"Reading" magazines together behind the kitchen table.


Enjoying bath time together!


Headed to preschool together!


Starting early morning rock bands together!


Sharing rain boots, a current favorite activity!



Sneaking dad's scrub hats together!


Rhys - 23 months


Holden- 3 yrs 8 mos.
  
 * Driving to preschool yesterday, Holden told me, "I like Rhys, Mom."  I told them how wonderful it was that they had each other and that they will likely be best friends as they grow up.  Rhys leans around the side of his car seat and lovingly says to Holden, "I love you, Holden."  Holden looked down acting shy.  After a minute, he said, "I love you, too, Rhys."  My heart was so big that morning and I keep going over those few minutes so I can memorize it forever.  Too soon, I will be looking in the rear view mirror at two teenage boys.  Time goes by so fast.  I am so thankful for these moments, all of them, the crazy and the calm, as these wild and crazy boys make us want to pull our hair out and eat them up from their infectious adorableness at the exact. same. time.  I am so thankful to be their mom.*

Happy Thanksgiving!
