Twin Win

Alex to Will: "If you still keep going faster than me, and I don't catch up, you still don't win because we're brothers, and we're twins, so we both win!"

And here I thought it was in the genes.

Alex: "I'm taller than Will [1/4", just like at birth] because I get more sleep than he does!"
Who knew it was that simple? ;)

Deep thoughts by Will

Will: "I was really lonely when I hadn't been made yet. Because I was all alone. My body was inside of me, and then it came out, when God made me. Before that my heart was feeling bad inside because I was all alone."
Alex: "Did Daddy tell you all those things, Will [OurLastName]?"
Will: "Nope. I just knew! I'm the smartest kid ever! ... Well, not *that* smart. I only know a little bit of things."

And some recent pics of my firefighters, my little Valentines, and last night's fire pit fun.

Funny guy; snow pics

Alex: "I want to live with Will my whole life, even when I'm a grownup, because he's SO funny!"

Of course, later that night they were fighting for about 45 minutes straight and Alex was sobbing because Will called him "SO mean!" But still, you have to treasure the sweet moments when they come. :)

And a few pictures from our recent snowfall. Alex and Will hadn't gotten to really experience snow in a few years, so they were pretty excited.

And some throwback comparison pics to the last time they got to play in snow (3 years ago!) Looks like Alex's obsession with holding snow and trying to eat his snowball has been around a while. :)

The benefit of having siblings

Will: "It's good that I have a brother, because he can help me clean up. [Good thing, since he helps make the mess! ;)] ... Because a lot of kids don't have any brothers or sisters, and I bet they miss the clean-up timer."
