It's the small things...

that really make me emotional. Our daily walk to the bus stop to get Alex is one. When I put Anika in her stroller in the afternoon she says "bus" or sometimes "brow wa" She gets so excited when I tell her that "yes it is time for your brother to come home" It is so fun to hear her start to babble with happiness. When she sees the bus she often screams "BUS" and starts to bounce up and down. Seeing the two of them in those first few minutes after he gets off the bus is really such a joy. Alex waited with us for his "baby sister" and is just as happy as we are to have her in the family. I am just so proud of him. He is a great big brother. I will miss these daily reunions when summer comes.

I am with you on that. It is so neat to see how deeply our children fall in love with one another. Just tonight Reese stumbled into Krista, and she just reached out and hugged him. It is the little moments.
