Last week was crazy around here and one afternoon Jacob was sensing the craziness and sweetly volunteered to take Samuel outside to play.  I was so grateful and at one point looked out the window to watch for a little while.  It was a big brother sweetly playing with his younger brother – trying to entertain him on the trampoline (thankfully we have a net).  Sometimes Jacob would just do his own thing (like most 9 year old boys would), but other times he was completely engaged and aware of Samuel.  I was so grateful to be privy to this little moment and shot some pictures through the blinds as I watched.

    This is sweet! Isn’t it wonderful to watch the way a younger sibling can bring out such goodness in older children.

    This just warms my heart! I especially love how this was not “asked” to do, but the love of an older brother for both mom and little brother. You have such good boys!
