Oh, man - that went straight to my heart. I actually felt a little tug as I read that last line. <br /><br />I always think about this, and I try to relay this to my children as much as I know how to - about the foundation they are building in their relationships with one another. I sometimes fear what it could turn out to be, because I do see that one of my lovies struggles in her communication with her siblings. I try to get her to understand, but her understanding only ever lasts for so long before she goes back to her usual ways of interacting. *sigh* <br /><br />I also love that you have this tradition of taking this picture every year. I always wanted to do that but never started so I always thought "it's too late now". Sheesh! Do you have the yearly pictures in a collective frame? I would love to see that!<br /><br />And as always, Melissa, thank you so much for your contribution to {Magic of the Mundane}!Sofia's Ideashttp://sofiasideas.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7408938213733515998.post-80466363487392661632012-04-10T00:59:35.778-04:002012-04-10T00:59:35.778-04:00Your boys are sooOOoo cute!
