Tyler and Hunter

I cannot believe how fast the time has gone by! It seems yesterday when you were both tiny babies. Now you are both Big Brothers! Hunter is Big Brother to little Ava who soon will be one year old herself! How the time flies! That means time goes way too fast. Tyler, you are waiting patiently for your new sister Sydney to arrive. New exciting times are ahead for both you and your Mom and Dad. Things are changing and that can be scary, but with all of us to help you, things will turn out fine. You will be the best Big Brother in the whole wide world! You have the Bluest Eyes I have ever seen. People just about fall into those eyes. They can say I Love You and often do. You will be able to help Mommy and Daddy out so much. When your mommy was little, I had Jesse. your Mom was 4.5 when Aunt Jesse came. So, your mommy had to help out Grandma a LOT. She would go get diapers when I wanted to change Jesse's wet ones. She would go get toys when Jesse needed them. She would go play and behave when I needed her to. (okay, sometimes that was a stretch, but you know that she did help me so very much). When Jesse was about 2, your MommyJodee talked to me about something else new happening. She saw my Tummy was growing yet again. Yes, another baby was going to come along and Aunt Jesse would only be 21 months old when the new baby arrived. That meant that your mommyjodee would need to help me even more. When I had the new baby, MommyJodee would play and play and began to go to School. She helped Grandma Kate and helped and helped, then helped some more. That new Baby was your Aunt Lacey. Grandma knew when your mommyjodee grew up, she would be the best Mommy ever because she had to help with 2 other babies when she was growing up. It was like taking care of twin babies having the two so close together in age. MommyJodee loved animals, people and reading. She was always reading something. Now you are learning that reading is lots of fun too! Hunter, I knew your Mommy would be the best mommylacey ever too. From the time she was a baby, she was friends with everyone. She had big beautiful eyes and the longest eyelashes I have ever seen on a baby. (until you) She helped as Jesse grew up. She became her friend, ally, confidant, and protector. Your mommylacey took over where Aunt Jodee left off when she got busy doing other things. I will always have a special place in my Heart for your mommylacey because she is the same as I was, the caretaker to all. She loves old, young, human, non-human all the same. There is never enough time in the day to love like your mommy does. Even when she yells at you, it is for your safety and because she cares. Now you and Tyler will have a chance to be protectors, friends, confidants and allies which just means good friends. You will have plenty of kisses and hugs to give and to get. Tyler please keep on being that loving, caring, sweet boy I know you can be. Sometimes it is not always easy to be nice. We all learn that as we get bigger. Other people have feelings too. They see things from the other side of where you are. Learning to understand how they feel can make you a better boy too. Hunter keep on being that great big brother you are. Keep giving those smiles to others. When you smile, the world is better. Some day when you both get a chance to read this, I hope it will make you smile just a little, and let you know that you are loved so much by this Grandma Kate. I hope you will never stop giving me hugs n kisses. Hugs till I can give them to you in person. (big smooch here)
