This morning, Steve had to be at church early so he took Riley with him to teach him all the ins and outs of running a sound board (actually, he did it to make my morning a little bit easier!). When Nicolas realized that his brother was gone, he went over to the door and said, "Where's my Ri-Ri?" It was precious. Not just "Ri-Ri"..."my Ri-Ri." I loved that little hint of protection in his question.
The twins are rarely apart from one another so naturally, they've formed a pretty amazing bond. If one of them gets hurt, the other one has a phantom owie on the same body part and joins in with the crying. They definitely do their share of fighting, but when it comes down to the special stuff (treats), they love to share with one another and always make sure that the other one got a treat. And when they are apart, like this morning, they definitely miss each other.
It's such a blessing to watch these two boys love, cry, rejoice, laugh, share, fight, learn, wrestle, and grow-up together - best friends from birth. I am thankful for what they have to teach me about brotherly love.

it's fun to watch all your boys grow up but pretty special to see the bond these two share.
they're so different in many ways too but i love them both the same :)
love,

Awww... I hope my twins love each other like that when they're older. I have to say that right now they're pretty indifferent to eachother! Ha!

oh, i love this post. what a special moment for you to catch- especially when the beginning (ie newborn) season with these two sweet boys was so rough...
