Gentle Years

PB is our country music lover.  When she was young, she had a special fondness for Keith Whitley, so his song is particularly fitting with these photos and on her page:
"There's a bond that brothers know,
and it gets stronger as they grow,
a love that time and miles can't come between
We disagreed but in the end,
there will never be two closer friends,
and Brotherly Love is something we all need"

PB and I have been getting together at least every other day-both for ourselves and for the boys, so that they will be buddies and not rivals.  Aidan is only four, but he is an active, rough and tumble kind of boy, especially while his language is limited (he is really smart, so this bothers him).  Next to him RB seems so mellow and little!

While waiting for GB and JC to get home this afternoon, RB played outside with the basketball hoop and the stone frog, which he thought was a ride-on toy.

Here is RB the day of his party, hanging out with me while his Mommy gets everything ready.  Below that are pics of he and Mommy at another birthday party and just RB in the grass, having fun with my two brothers' dogs.

Both boys were tired this morning
