They do love each other!

The other day we were all in the car going for a drive, seeing the sights about Omaha.  Carl and I were just chatting about everything and nothing when we heard Max talking to Joe.  I turned about to see what they were doing and Max and Joseph were holding hands, well, fingertips is a more accurate description.  Both boys were reaching towards each other with all their might and they just managed to touch fingers for a second and then they would laugh and laugh and try to hold fingers again.  I watched them for a few seconds more and then said to Carl "Oh, they do love each other." 

People often ask if we intended to have the kids so close together and when I say yes they usually ask what our reasoning was.  I can only say that it was the right thing for us, even though it can be challenging.  Seeing that sweet little moment makes everything worth it.
