big brother, little sister

I cannot even begin to tell you

how much these two bless me,

how much they make me smile

how much they warm my soul

and how much they make my heart swell with pride.

I knew I would love seeing my babies together.

Even before the beautiful girl was born

I was dreaming about the day I would see my beautiful boy

with his baby brother or sister.

But absolutely nothing on earth could have prepared me

for the joy I get now

at seeing these two each and every day

as they become more and more in love with one another,

as their relationship develops

and their friendship grows.

They have something indescribable.

A bond that is almost tangible.

They are drawn to one another,

they are fascinated by one another. 

They light up for one another

in a way that is completely unique.

There is something that happens before my very eyes

which I know I will never ever completely be a part of.

Their little gang is their own

and not mine.

But my goodness,

is it a beautiful thing to witness.

I've been nominated as a finalist for Best Baby Blog in the MAD Blog Awards 2013

You can vote here should you wish to.

Thank-you so much.
