Love

Sometimes amidst the fighting, petty bickering, resistance to anything resembling sharing, and the constant frustration, I find it hard to believe that my children actually love each other. But then there are days like the one that we took these pictures....





These are the days that I remember that they actually DO love each other. And in a way that only siblings can. And I remember how much *I* love these children. And in only a way that a mother can.

A few weeks ago we were driving in the car and Kaelyn said to me, "Mommy - I know that I really do want to live a long and happy life. But if either one of us (meaning Cooper or herself) had to die, I would want it to be me. Because Cooper is young and still has a LOT of his life left to live."
Wow.

It is good to capture these kinds of days on camera, so you can remember them amidst the other not so loving days.
Do they look alike in these pictures or is it just me?

Sometimes Kaelyn is just mature beyond her years! What a gift she is!
I love you all!
