this makes my heart burst

As much as they fight and aggravate each other (and ME!) it's moments like this that renew my faith in my kids and myself as a parent, and make it ALL worthwhile...

*edited to add backstory*

The "story" behind this shot isn't that exciting, I'm afraid. Kaitlyn had been going strong all day on her sugar high and got pretty cranky, and Devin finally convinced her to lay down on the floor in the living room with him and watch tv. She was OUT in about 2.5 seconds! I just loved how she was all curled up into her big brother and he has his arm so protectively around her. He really is an awesome big brother to her (not that Austin isn't) it's just that D has way more interest and patience in playing with her and indulging her when she wants his attention.

There are 6 years between K & D. :)
