Oh, for the love of Big Brothers

Just had to share some pics from the boys first glimpses of Simeon D (who, by the way, doesn't have any teeth! as quoted by his ever concerned older brother, Titus Kip)

Ezra was extremely smiley and
knew right away that this was "Baby M-E-UM"

Titus was so glad to be able to touch and hold "Baby SSSimeon" he still loves to hold Simeon and does a FANTASTIC job of calming Simeon by singing to him! I don't think I have ever heard the B-I-B-L-E sung as a lullaby. . .but Titus is going to make sure that Simeon is ready for sunday school someday:)

they love to dote on Simeon. . .and imitate his funny faces and noises!
Especially the "special noises" that come from newborns so frequently!

I often find Simeon with toys lined up near him. After I snapped this picture, I set the camera down and when I looked back over at Simeon, he actually had a car resting on his tiny cheek. . . compliments of his ever so curious and loving older brother, Ezra!

I could not ask for better sons (or brothers) during this time of transition! They are so full of energy, but they are the sweetest blessings and I am truly finding such joy in serving Christ as I meet the needs of my family. I am more exhausted than I ever thought possible. . .but as I go through my day, I am so thankful to God for giving me the ministry here on this earth of meeting the earthly needs of my dear husband and our 3 wonderful sons!
