It’s seems crazy, but sometimes I almost forget that my older brother lives just 20 minutes down the road. It’s not that we aren’t close, because we are. He is one of my heroes. For as long as I can remember, I’ve looked up to him as one of the kindest, most loving, funniest, Christ-like people I’ve ever known. I’m so lucky to have a big brother like him. But you know how life can be when you’re in the thick of raising kids. We’ve got separate lives, jobs, school, church, sports, and on and on it goes. We don’t get to see each other nearly as much as I wish we did. But even so, he is always there when I need him. I try to make sure I get family photos of them about once a year. I’m pretty sure we missed last year, but other than that, for the past 3 or 4 years we’ve had a yearly photo session. I love getting a chance to hang out with him and the rest of the crew. I love my niece and nephews and my sis-in-law so much! 
I love that they included their dogs. Such a great family!
The baby of the family….he couldn’t be any cuter if he tried! He is the most photogenic two year old ever! Every time he saw my camera, he smiled and laughed. So cute!
The biggest. J has grown up so much in the past year! He will be 11 soon. He is so smart, and really funny, too. He reminds me so much of my brother. 
Miss K, the only girl. She’s beautiful, and smart, and funny, too. Just like her mama. 
Love these guys! Such great kids, all three of them.
