Oh, Brother!!

And we mean that in a good way.  E calls her big brother, "Brother."   Brother left Thursday morning and E misses him very much.  She had a good time when he was here, but the visit was too short.  She's already asking when is "brother" coming back.  Hopefully, sometime yet again this year.

Here's a short video of E and her big brother playing Tag:



This picture was taken the last night my son was here. Love this picture!

With "brother" gone, it's back to preschool. Nice thing about homeschooling, you can take a break whenever you need to. But, our guests are gone, so back to work!

Happy Sixth Birthday Brother!

Today is E's big brother B's sixth birthday.  Even though he is not here to celebrate with us, we still celebrate with cake and ice cream and have a balloon release.  E made Ben a birthday card this year.  She really loves her brother, even though she has never met him.

E wishes B were here to go to the beach!

I asked E if she could say anything to B, what would she say.  She said "I love you Ben and I wish I could give you lots of hugs and kisses and noses (rubbing noses). I want to watch tv with you. Happy Birthday!"

"Mom, can I blow out Ben's candle and make a wish?"

"Sure honey."  "Mom, I wished Ben was here to play with me."

Six balloons for our boy!

On their way to Heaven

Okay, Mom, now what?

Can't wait until we are all together Benjamin!  We love you and miss you lots.
