This past weekend my brother-in-law & sister-in-law drove up from Texas with their 3 boys. Sunday we were able to get all of the boys together and it was so great to see them all playing together! Jack had been talking about his Texas cousins for WEEKS and was so happy to get to run around and play with them. I love getting to see them all interact and play with each other.
Tommy is the oldest at 8 (and 1/2!) and he has all of the typical personality traits of the oldest kid. He was born about a month after Matt and I started dating. I remember getting to hold him when he was just a couple weeks old.... I can't believe how old he is now! Even looking back at our wedding photos (where he was our ring bearer) it is amazing to see how grown up he has become! He is super athletic (just like his parents) and into all of the "big sports" (baseball, basketball and soccer). He's such a sweetheart too... especially with the little ones! I think he truly loves being the oldest.
Luke is one of a kind! He's a total sweetheart but hilarious at the same time! Numerous people have told his mom that she should write a book with all of the funny quotes she posts on Facebook from him. Luke was just 4 months old at our wedding He is the kid that can get along with everyone! He reminds me a lot of my two youngest siblings who were always carrying on conversations with adults when they were little. Not shy at all! If you look in the background of the picture of Tommy and Christopher above, Luke is the figure in red in the back lying on the ground... he had just jumped back over the fence!
Brady is my the youngest of Matt's older brother's kids and my adorable godson! He's an adorable fun loving little man. He has some unique needs that only makes him more special to all of us. It was hilarious to watch him as he walked through the kitchen while folks were cleaning up from Thanksgiving and would sneak a pop can off the counter and run off... he's crafty for sure. He's great at playing games on the iPhones/iPads. I love watching him enjoying life!
Our youngest nephew Evan is just a little over 24 hours younger that Christopher. He's got quite the personality already, that is for sure! He's so physically active he's already running around everywhere! We always laugh at the expressions he has... he has the most hilarious looking scowl when he's not happy with something. Uncle Matt gets that look a lot ;-) It's great to watch him and Christopher interact and I hope they'll be good friends growing up. Right now the difference between them is the fact that Christopher has an older brother and acts like it... always fighting for toys or wanting to wrestle with Evan. Evan is not usually too happy about that, ha!
Being an aunt is so much fun! I love watching all of their personalities develop as they get older... hopefully we'll have more nephews (and maybe a niece or two) in the future once my siblings start getting married and having babies!
