Two Brothers

Did you happen to catch this documentary in between sessions on Conference last weekend? The best, most uplifting movie I've ever seen. I literally cried through the whole thing.

The movie tracks two brothers over 5,000 days and it is the neatest thing to see the bonds these brothers have and watch them grow up. Want to hear what put me over the edge? As the older one was on a mission in Chile, the earthquake hit and the family hadn't heard from him in 7 days. The little brother said, "I know he's ok. It's a brother thing."

The boys in the movie were such good boys and I kept telling Davis and Dex that I want them to be just like that. Of course, I also told them I want to go on their missions with them...



I feel so lucky to be raising boys. I just think there is something so special about them. I know I'll curl up in fetal position and die when they go on their missions but isn't it so exciting to think about? The family in the movie has four boys and I kept thinking how that is seriously my dream. I would give anything for a house full of crazy, wrestling, tooting, laughing boys who love their mama.

Ah I loved this! :) And I totally know what you mean about wanting lots of boys. I grew up with all brothers and it was awesome. :)

Your boys are getting so big! SO cute. :)
