I am grateful for....

Big brothers. I am especially thankful for a big brother who is pleased to eat his dinner scooted as forward as possible in his chair so that his baby brother can stand on the chair behind him. And climb on the big brother's back. And tap the big brother on the head. And cover the big brother's eyes. All while the big brother eats his dinner and laughs at his baby brother. Yes, this would have never happened when Big Brother was small. He would have sat in his high chair calmly and eaten as well. But then again, he would have had a nap in the afternoon instead of following older siblings to all the afternoon events and errands. This is life in a family composed of many ages. And I am grateful for that as well!

Oh my, aren't we different parents now than 9 years ago - Ha! It's just easier to let them be a little crazy, and we've finally realized that they'll turn out okay even so. :) Miss you guys!
