Wonderful Boys and Brothers

Today during scripture study, we were talking about what it meant to be the seed of Joseph.  T.J's response was, "It's like we are the seed and you are the sun helping us grow rightly."  I loved that and thought it was so insightful of him.  He had parent teacher conferences this week and received exceptionally good marks.  We are very proud of him, especially when the teacher has wonderful things to say about his character as well as his grades.  He is an amazing boy that we have been blessed with.

After school today, T.J. brought home the book "Thomas and the Treasure" for Nate.  Nate really wanted it from the book fair yesterday.  Come to find out, T.J. won a drawing he had entered and got to pick any book.  He chose this book for Nate.  It almost makes me cry thinking of how thoughtful they are to each other.  At Costco, Nate got a sample of three jelly beans.  He carried them around the whole time and as we were leaving he got really upset because one fell on the floor.  I told him it was ok, he still had one left, but he started to cry saying that one he was saving for T.J.  I hope all our children will always have this type of relationship!
