But, friends or not, you still ought to wear a helmet when your playing baseball with your brother and he is pitching. It's just smart.
This is how he does most everything these days - with the baseball glove on his hand...or head. Just a little handwriting practice. Olivia really gets into this and Joseph has incredible handwriting for his age and attention span. He appears to be a bit of a perfectionist, gets a little ruffled when he comes off the line.That was Memorial Day, by the way. Hence the red, white and blue...and Valentine socks and pink sandals?? Our neighbor is a retired Marine so we took the kids to a memorial service that his VFW branch hosted at a cemetery near our house. The kids made some American flags with tissue paper and Olivia took hers to Mr. Frank, the marine (remember him from Halloween - yells from his recliner for Irma to get the candy when we knocked on the door) and he promptly hung it on his door - it's still there.

You all are exposing your kids to some of the really meaningful things in life. They will be well rounded and sensitive people because of it. Good job.
Aren't the shows the funniest! We have lots of shows here. Often they make no sense to me, but they put lots of work into them and it's a pretty good team effort. The most entertaining part is usually Caleb (naked from the waist down) trailing along behind mumbling his version of whatever they're saying.
Regarding siblings as friends, I'll never forget the first time Meg and Nate had their own "conversation." I'm sure I've already told you this, but Nate was just beginning to really talk and we were in the car. Meg said something to him and he answered her. It was something social and pleasant and completely unrelated to me and it hit me that they really were two little people of their own with ideas and realtionships separate from me. It's fun to see that develop, and it makes me miss Philip.
