My Little Gooberhead!!!

Gooberhead!!! That is the way my poor baby brother has been known for years by me. It is truly a term of endearment though and only used with the utmost love and respect. He was born while I was still 17 and just heading off to college. So there is a pretty big span between our ages.......... However, as you can tell by this picture our maturity levels were about the same. He is a great kid and we have some great memories. This was when I was pregnant with Hunter (kiddo # 2) in my favorite place, Disneyland!!!!

This was taken Sunday (a few years later), at his missionary farewell. To say I am so proud is really an understatement!!! He truly one of the most generous and compassionate people I know. (He got these traits from my parents, I only wish I could take the credit!) Not only did he help me a lot when I was pregnant(with the quads) and on bed rest and in the hospital, he helped take care of our grandmother and for the last two years has been helping my other sister and her daughters after the suicide of her husband. We are so proud of him for taking this step and I suppose we can share him with Halifax, Canada!!!!

So my little gooberhead!!! We will miss you but we will write to you every week and keep an eye on each other until you make it home to help us out again!!! We love you!!!

See you soon!!!!!
