Big brother, little brother:
This is the second pair of brothers in our family.
It's true that I hoped along the way for my daughter to have a sister. Now, I am also pleased by the shape we have: two sons, one daughter, then two more sons. I enjoyed having a pair of little boys the first time around, and I am looking forward to having it again.
I find myself flashing back to two little boys in the sand at the playground, two little boys at the table during the older's first school lessons, two little boys eating ice cream at bedtime, two little boys cuddled on the couch watching cartoons. Even now, I can look around and see two big boys jockeying for keyboard space to play Minecraft, two big boys unloading the dishwasher (not without some argument), two big boys running from the minivan into the church to serve Mass, two big boys riding the ski lift up the local hill under the winter evening floodlights.
It won't look the same this time around. I'm so eager to see it develop.
