Brother love

My sweet boys are the joy of my life. I am really enjoying watching their relationship blossom. At the beginning Luke was not a fan of Noah. He actually had a really rough time with the transition. I was sad and discouraged hoping that this is not how it would always be. As Noah is getting older, and beginning to play and crawl around chasing Luke I have seen slowly a bond start to develop between the boys. Luke some days crawls into Noah's crib to lay and play with him. And constantly is asking where he is when he is sleeping. Today he saw his empty carseat by the door and said "Oh no! Mommy, Noah got out of his carseat! Where did he go?" He was so concerned about him, but he was in his room napping. It drives me a little crazy sometimes because he kept trying to get into his room when he is sleeping. BUT, I love how much he loves his brother. Today after lunch we all laid in Luke's bed to read a nap time story. Luke kept asking me if Noah could nap with him. Yea right. Like there would be any "napping" going on! Within the next year, we want to put the boys together in Luke's room. That will be interesting to say the least. :)

This picture melts my heart. I literally had tears in my eyes. Jared was reading the boys a story and Luke put his arm around Noah and was rubbing his back. Oh Lord, let these boys always love each other like that. I  pray they have a close bond where they can always trust each other and know that the other one will have his back. I love these boys with all my heart. Sometimes I wonder to myself how on earth I lived and loved before I had these boys. They are my heart. I feel sad for children who grow up and never know the true love of a sibling.

The boys love wrestling with their daddy. They adore their daddy. I love that even if Jared is gone 48+ hours at the firehouse, that we can visit him so the boys can get a little wrestle time with him!
