Little did I know that God had other plans for my life. Can I tell you that I am so thankful he is in charge. Now I can see many of the reasons why this was best for us. Why this was the way our family was supposed to happen.
It definitely has made me grateful for having faith. For trusting. For believing. I have a whole other post about that, but this post is about how wonderful it is that Gabe and Matthew are old enough to really be participants in caring for Henry.
They have proven to be the best big brothers and Henry is extremely lucky to have two amazing and good brothers to follow in their example. He adores them already and the feeling is mutual.
Gabe is great about singing to him and changing his diaper or clothes. He also is always making sure he is safe. Matthew loves to talk to him and teach him. He always wants to sit next to him in the car. They both love to hold him and rock him. Henry never knows who will get him out of bed after a nap or in the morning and whoever it is, he is happy to see them.
They also have started helping feed him (sorry about the poor quality of photos).
My heart is full. I love these boys. I can't wait to see their relationships change and develop over the years. It is my hope they will continue to watch out for and take care of each other throughout their lives.
