brothers

So, in the kitchen right now are Mark and Tommy. they are playing a rousing game of basketball with nerf balls and a plastic hoop on the front door. They are having a blast....laughing and competing.
Constant trash talk to each other, friendly but fierce.
It cracks me up.
Steph and Mark came over tonight to hang out - and so Mark could play with his little brother...well Tommy is in heaven.
Hallie and Steph are pretty happy together too.
Nights like this make me fizz....as Tommy says about anything that is particularly heartwarming.
It is loud and the house is a mess and there is nowhere to escape for quiet - but it is perfect.
I am so thankful that the boys love to be together.
Even the 23 year old and the 11 year old.
Tommy has been doted on since the day he was born and it is cool to see that hasn't stopped.
My heart sings.
