Brotherhood...

There is something special about the bond between brothers. Even when they aren't together everyday, the connection they share is different from what they have with anyone else, and it is certainly a blessing that fills the heart of this mom to overflowing.

Garin was excited to see Matt and spent the entire evening shadowing him and climbing all over him. They laughed and "talked" and got plenty of wrestling in. At one point, Matt was out of Garin's sight for all of a minute, and Garin was searching the house, saying, "Is he? Is he?" which is his version of "Where is he?" When he found him, he inhaled sharply, ran to him, put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Awwww." Then he climbed into his lap. It was precious!

In these photos, Garin was trying to sneak out of the kitchen with his "na" (banana), and Matt was having fun trying to keep him in.
