Little Brothers

As little brothers go, I know a bit about them. I have 2, am married to 1, and have 1 myself. I am the perpetual "big sister" even my sister in law Heather refers to me as the big sister. I guess when I was young, I might not have liked what it meant. But as you age, you become wiser, and I love mothering, helping, and protecting. It is what God gave me as a gift...which is what also makes me a nurse. I do however, fall short in putting myself in the "little brother" shoes. I am posting Gavin's first day of school picture 2 weeks late....he'll never know, but I am reminded by Kevin of how a "little brother" get's lost in the big picture...which is why they go out of their way to be noticed...(e.g. the faux hawk Gavin is sporting). I am so proud of Gavin, he is growing in so many ways. He is doing well in school, everyday he is holding a new little girls hand (between these 2, we are really in trouble!) and waves good-bye like it's no big deal. He started soccer 2 weeks ago, and has his first game this Wed...he's a bit aggressive, and by being 4 years old and 50 lbs. there is alot of body flying around toward that soccer ball! I love you Gav....I'll try harder to put myself in your "little brother" shoes!:)
