Today the boys did what brothers all over the world do.  They built a fort out of pillows and blankets and turned Sophie into a guard dog.

They played in the fort for a LONG time.  They were laughing and chatting.  They were enjoying each other's company.

Sophie failed as a guard dog.  I think maybe their expectations were a little high.  She did do a great job as a partial demolition crew though. 

I love that these two boys love each other...really love each other.  I love that they behave like brothers who have lived together forever.  I love these moments when we don't have to be anywhere or do anything and they can just be.  We don't have them often...they are truly treasures for us.

Praises for family...whatever it looks like.
