Brothers and sisters

I always say my kids are lucky because they are all so close in age. They always have a friend to play with, to get in trouble with, and to fight with.



Brothers who can fish together, hunt together, have secret camp outs in their bedroom after lights out..






Brothers who really love each other, even after a big fight.

A sister who loves both her brothers, brothers who would fight for their sister, even though sister thinks brothers are dirty and annoying.



Silly love.























The love for another sister who is in heaven.






The love and sadness that their sister wouldn't be joining them this side of heaven.

The sister they waited so long for..
A nine year old who got tears in her eyes the first time she held her sister. A sisterly bond.


An older protective brother


And a first time big brother who waited so long for that moment..that even he cried.



A baby girl who already knows her big sister. Her eyes get so big when her big sister looks at her.


A big sister who loves taking care of baby, who tickles her toes and kisses her head a million times a day.

A bond between four children. True love. Simple and sweet.

My heart is overflowing. The end.
