Brothers

I have always wanted a daughter.  Several daughters, in fact.  I have three girl names picked out and I could easily come up with more.  God has, however, decided to bless us with boys.  Boys whose names we agonized over and took weeks or months to agree on.  Active, silly, precious boys who have stolen their mommy’s heart forever.  I’ve decided that being a mom of boys is a pretty great thing.  I still hope to be blessed with a daughter some day but, for now, I am more than content with my two boys.  And they seem to be pretty happy with each other.  Robert loves his baby brother and Alex adores Robert.  Robert sweetly shares his toys and hands Alex his paci and pats his head and kisses his face.  Alex watches Robert’s every move and smiles and laughs at him.  Both boys share my lap as I read them a story and Robert sweetly tolerates Alex’s flailing baby arms and unbalanced little body.  They are brothers who seem to already have a special bond and who I pray will grow up as very best friends to one another.

  4. I know what you mean about picking boy names! Geoffrey didn't have a name until a few days before he was born!

  7. There is nothing in the world more precious than little boys…guess I am prejudice though!!!! When I was pregnant with Patrick I was sure I was going to have a girl, then the ultrasound. I was terrified because I didn't know anything about boys. Can't imagine life now without a son!

    They're blessed to have you and Christopher as parents. These two brothers will definitely be friends for life, and they will look out for their future little sister(s) and/or brother(s) as time goes on.
