This picture was taken a year ago, but I saw it in my files and it made me smile so I had to put it up!I promise that I will put more up to date ones up soon! :)This little kid (Heath) adores his siblings as much as they adore him (of course it varies from day to day, but overall they like each other)! I love to take pictures of my children together and I thought since they are actually in their Sunday clothes and no one has stained anything, broken anything or sassed too much...yet and the best part...they were ALL HAPPY... perfect pic opportunity! This was the best shot out of several because even though they were pretty good...they were wiggly as all get out!
If there is only one thing I could have my kids fully understand and take with them when they grow up and out of the house, it would be the importance of family. As a kid it is hard to imagine being best friends with the brother who pins you down to administer the Chinese water torture, tickles you til you almost pee your pants or the one who arm wrestles you without any mercy despite the fact that you are 7 years younger or the sister who locks you out of her room after running into it yelling "THE BOOGIE MAN IS BEHIND YOU!!!" Leaving you helplessly banging on the door, frantically calling to her "HELP, LET ME IN!!!" But as I have grown up and seen more of life and have had hardships in friendships, some that are still intact and some that aren't close anymore, and may never be, I have realized that I admire my family greatly and that they have stuck up for me when no one else would and have been there when no one else was. I know most of their hardships and have seen their progress through the years! I have grown to admire and love them in many ways. I hope that one day my kids will too with their own siblings...and hopefully won't forget us parents!
