The joy of a brother

A few photos taken over the past 2 months.

We have settled in well and the boys are getting along like "real" brothers :) Some healthy sibling rivalry, yet lots of bonding.

Samuel makes it very clear when his space is invaded or he needs alone time - he has become very possessive of George. Yet, he is very protective as an older brother - he doesn't like strangers wanting to pick up Michael and at playgroup he checks up on Michael.

Michael is a very verbal little one, laughing & "talking" most of the time. He loves his food, balls, bubble baths and hugs & kisses. The two little ones can leave a bathroom, play area in fact any space looking like a war zone!

BUT we would not change this for anything.

Getting to know each other at BH - Aug 2010

Reading with Daddy at the lodge on our way back to Zimbabwe


Have some of my juice.......

Samuel did not bargain on Michael having a will of his own......
he wanted all of Samuel's juice


Michael checking out the drum..........

O yeah, it makes a noise...... even though I can't see over the top!

1 Laundry basket + 2 boys = loads of fun


Is this the best toy ever :)

Brothers ought to look cool :)

Samuel "reading" to Michael, Samuel loves his books

Well done applause on reading & listening


Michael chilling with Yvonne....... she also loves books :)


Michael's 1st Mummy & Me gym - I was one of the
4 "mummies" he had that day, yes all the girls went with :)


Did I mention Michael loves balls & can throw them accurately?

Ellen & Michael and again a ball

Doing "row, row your boat" with Marina - not quite sure if he likes it.

Samuel doing an obstacle course - he has gained so much confidence on the obstacle courses.

Samuel swinging through life with Marina.

Michael knows this face has us wrapped around his finger.

I love watching our children finding their "groove" in our new family.

I love how Michael has found his place in our family.

I love watching our children loving each other.
