Brothers–Vol. 2

I know Anna…

if my brother was waving balloons over my bed I’d have that look of terror too.

Especially with this wardrobe and nose bandaid.

Gosh I love this kid.

Brothers give the best hugs.

One day you’ll be able to escape his grasp!

But in the mean time you love to accept his kisses.

Brothers can be a little crazy and we have to remind him not to shriek in your ears.

And brothers always have a bit of mischief in their eyes.

Brothers are eager to teach you about trucks and cars and tools.

And again with the outfits…I’m sorry Anna, I promise he wears normal clothes most of the time. He was “helping” me wash dishes when a HUGE “wave” overtook his shirt.

Regardless of his wardrobe, he has a lot of things to teach you and he LOVES to be with you.

Then there’s the first baby. She wanted you two to remember that she was first, ha! Please note the flailing toddler limbs in the background. Never a dull moment.

Oh man, this post just gets worse and worse. I swear the kid wears clothes. Ok so here is your brother wearing his jammies running around the yard with his baseball bat and his feather head dress labeled with things we are thankful for. But, he’s cute and happy and that’s a good way to live.

Pure joy at introducing you to the Christmas tree. He couldn’t wait to get it in the house and put on the lights. He wanted you to experience every piece of the excitement.

Here he is trying to get you to hold the light strands to plug them in.

Here he is waiting in line for Santa. He absolutely did not want his picture taken.

You on the other hand, were a sweet sleeping angel.

And we only had to bribe him once to sit with you and take this picture.

But he did take care of writing a letter to Santa for you and he even mailed it to the north pole!

And when I ask him to make you smile, he can do it like no one else.

And then he gives you germs, ahem kisses.

He’s a great big brother already Anna. You are one lucky girl.
