These two little boys came at such a great time. I was twelve when Daniel was born and fourteen when Connor was born, so I was able to appreciate them in a way I sadly never could appreciate Robert. Those two boys are so unique and wonderful and special to me. Being around them at the age I was, I believe it did a lot to prepare me for babysitting and, in the future, for motherhood. They were so cute as babies, and I never wanted them to grow up. But they have, and they are getting to be so big! Connor will be 13 (a teenager!!) at the end of this month, and Daniel’s getting ready to be 15. They aren’t babies anymore…and it’s wonderful and sad all at the same time. I don’t get to see them very much, but I’m hoping to be able to make more time to see them. I’m getting teary while I type this, actually, I miss them so much!
They have a place in my heart that no one could ever touch. I love them so much and am SO BLESSED that the Lord decided to add them to my family.
Special mention of my other little brother, Robert. We were not friends as kids (he drove me bonkers, as only little brothers can). We have a much better relationship now, even though I see him probably once or twice a year. Our thing is movies…we try to see a movie whenever he is in town, and we love to challenge each other through text messages with movie quotes. Robert (Brother Robert, haha), I love you. And I love the songs you sing when you leave me a HeyTell message. You’re my favorite oldest younger brother ever!!!!! =)
