brotherhood.

if i could choose someone to be my big brother,
it'd be jake.
not that he's perfect or anything.
he looses his patience as much as any of us.
but most of the time he is....
just such a great  big brother.

and ty.
he is so enthusiastically fun.
he's always ready to go along with jake's leadership.
he doen't need the credit.
he just wants to participate and have FUN!
i wish i could be more like him.

they are brothers.
it is so beautiful.
i'm sure there will be more to come.
more beauty 
and (as with most beauty) pain and disappointment too.
but right now, in this moment, their brotherhood is such a gift.
i am grateful.
i hope someday they will be able to see the gift and be truly grateful too.

  1. very sweet!
    reminds me of my two oldest daughters.
    something real special about brotherhood... and sisterhood.
    and that same sex connection.
    yeah, they do have their fair share of fighting...
    but when they run first to their "best friend" sister, it's worth the pain.
    so sweet to see that with your boys too!
    love it!
