Brandon

Today I am dedicating my post to the best big brother in the world. Tomorrow Brandon will be 15 years old. I wish I could go back in time and snuggle my baby to sleep just one more time (although I have to say that my baby still snuggles me pretty good - even in front of his friends:)). It seems like I have more pictures of Brandon as a baby than any of my other kids (I think this is a natural phenomenon with the first born vs. the rest - I would love to hear your comments on that), but fewer and fewer as he gets older. So, I made him pose for me before school this morning! I have learned through the years that Brandon sets the stage for his younger brothers. Brandon and I have had several conversations about this, and have done a Bible study on being the "first born". I have to say that Brandon has met the responsibility and challenge of being the eldest admirably. He isn't perfect (he is human), but I am so proud of my son for all the love and care he extends to his younger siblings - even when he is pulling his hair out in the process:). Trevor, Joshua, Jason, Reagan, and this yet-to-be-born little girl are the luckiest siblings in the world. I love you Brando.
