Brothers!

Brothers are sometimes difficult, sometimes frustrating, but always loved. I was blessed with two girls. Little did I know - or for that matter my two princesses know - that God would add to their families male offspring. Would my two girls be able to survive rowdy, active, loud boys?


But who could ever be upset with such gifts?



What angels they are, but you are wise not to ignore that impish sparkle in their eyes. Holidays are so much fun with those guys. Whether it is Thanksgiving,


Christmas


or "just because" those little gentlemen love, love being together.


2011 was the beginning of such a special introduction of my newest grandsons. Angel and Johnny legally became a part of our crazy adventure.


They have always been a "heart part", but now their adoption is final. I pray they know in their head and their heart that they were chosen to join us. We could have opened our hearts to many other little boys, but no other brothers could ever fit so perfectly as Angel and Johnny.


It is so fitting that Clayton and Drew are pictured on a motorcycle.


Both grandsons are daredevils. Evil Knievel would be proud of these two. Both have no fear- especially Drew. Finding him on a ATV


or a skateboard


or a trampoline is no unusual activity.

One can never quite read Drew's mind. Even the simplest activities can put a smile on his face.


Clayton is a real science guy. Microscopes, circuit sets, growing crystals, and a real telescope were some of his most loved Christmas gifts.


But he is still his dad's clone. The love for NASCAR racing must be part of his genetic makeup.


May 2011 will bring an addition to these brothers. Boy #3 will arrive to two other excited siblings. Maybe there is a sports team in the making.


All my grandsons were introduced to God and His love by godly parents. I pray that they will always listen to our Father.
