Brothers and Sisters

With each new child, we have arrived at a point in time when it is hard to remember what life was like before the addition of the newest one. We have reached that point in time with William.

Our little family has been so blessed by his addition that it is difficult to recall what things were like before his arrival. The greatest joy for me has been watching the interaction between the new brothers and sisters.

Not only will Bailey, JP, and Milbrey Ann argue over who gets to be with William, but William will scream for them to come to him when they are in another room. Most recently, due to William's ability to crawl up our stairs, we had to gate off the stairs. The sweetest moment will be when the older three are playing upstairs and William is downstairs standing at the gate yelling for his siblings. A very talented friend, Kristy Cope, took these pictures for us to celebrate William's first birthday. I thought she captured well the sweet relationship that is forming between these four brothers and sisters.

Gorgeous photos--I love the feet on the map! I agree completely with what you said about the sibling relationship, that may be the BEST part about adoption, but I can't decide!! And it does feel like they have always been home! So happy to see that you all are doing so well and I can't wait to come over and sit on your new deck and enjoy your company again!
