More sibling love....

This was just a random thing. I patched Rachel every day, and the boys just wanted to have a patch just like sissy. They posed for some cute pictures, then played pirates. This family will truly stick together. I remember once, when one of the boys had to get their head shaved for some reason, every one of them wanted to be shaved too. So, nobody could make fun of the first child without saying something to all of them. It truly helped the first child feel loved.
Aaron is our kissy child. He is ALWAYS kissing or hugging Rachel. It used to be that he kissed and hugged everyone, when he was littler. Now, you cant get him to hug you...unless you are a sweet little baby girl. Then he has NO problem with it.
This was after Ashley knocked her kneecap out of whack. It was a pretty bad injury that resulted in a brace and crutches for quite some time. This pic was taken the day she got home from the hospital. The boys wanted so bad to make her feel better. So, they painted her fingernails, and toenails. They even blew on them to make it dry faster. She felt loved, let me tell ya!

There is oh so many more pictures I could post, with stories to go with them all. It just proves that a family can care about each other so much so that they do things out of the ordinary. They don't have to hate one another and want to be away from the family, like society says they should. It should be cool to love your brother and sister...and let the whole world know it. Enough with those "my sister is the brat", or the "take my brother, please" shirts!

Each child we add to this family just adds more love and joy for each child who is already here. Now, I know that they have squabbles, and sometimes just wish someone would leave them alone, but I guarantee that these kiddos will be best friends their entire life. They have invested too much into one another to let that go when they move away.
