Growing up I always wanted an older brother. I thought it would be fun to have someone to look up to, hang out with, someone who would always look out for me as a protector. Instead I got a younger brother....much younger I might add (14 years). Even though there is a big age difference between us we are the best of friends. We talk on the phone...he prefers texting, hang out as much as possible, and always look out for one another. We make each other laugh, and totally get one another's inside jokes. He is also the BEST uncle! He loves my children more than life itself! So even though he is not older than me, he is totally everything I could have ever hoped for in a brother. These are the things that I hope my children will find in one another. I can't describe to you the joy it brings to me to watch Ella squeal with delight each time Ethan runs up to talk to her. He loves to tell her about things and act silly to make her laugh. Jared and I try to make her laugh all the time, but Ethan is the only one who can do it. She absolutely adores him. It totally melts my heart to watch the two of them together. I know that the battle for attention and sharing wars will probably be in our future, but my sincere hope for the two of them is that they always keep that look of admiration in their eyes and hearts for one another. I hope that they will always look out for one another and take care of each other. Nothing can compare to brotherly love be it younger or older!
