Brothers - Evolution of a Boy Fight

Dan and I are having an amazing time in Chicago. The 3 hour car ride sans kids was good enough for us but then we ate good food and slept uninterrupted in a big fluffy hotel bed. Ah-MAY-Zing!!

Still, I'm a mother and because I miss my boys:

There they are. Jumping off the couch like civil baby beings, taking turns, excusing themselves when they bump heads, even offering apologies for rough play. Then, when you least expect it:

Fights and play time are over. They happily climb into (the same) bed and giggle themselves to sleep.

What a strange relationship. Can't wait to hug these two!
