Brothers

Tate and Eben are slowly beginning to have a relationship not completely based on violence. Occasionally they now play with eachother and get in trouble together. Eben is training up Tate in all things "boy" - making great sound effects, jumping in puddles and riding bikes. It's so great to see them becoming occasional friends instead of purely enemies! Here are lots of pictures and videos of them lately ...

I love the hair in this first picture:



Helping (or hurting) their relationship, Eben finally moved in the "boy" room! When we first moved into the house Tyler wanted him in the room with her and then he became a bit of a nomad and moved during the night between our bed, Tyler's room and a sleeping bag on our floor. He was finally eager to move into the room with Tate and we put him back in a toddler bed. Here are the boys together in the bed after we built it together:



After staying inside while Tropical Storm Faye came through, we were ready to get out and jump some puddles. This was a first for Tate and really, probably the first time in Eben's memory ...





Finally, here's a video (yes, I was driving and filming at the same time) of Eben singing his favorite song "Joshua 1:9" from VBS this past summer. He loves to sing it loud and with motions. Here you can also see Tate joining in and then being abused by his brother - all in good fun!
