Sibling Friends

Kayli holding Jake back in 2002.  Aren't they SO cute?
I looked through albums the other day and enjoyed every minute!

 
I have six children and am thankful that they are friends with each other.  Dan sometimes doesn't feel like he fits because his interests are different -- but Jake is still the good brother to Dan he has been since Dan was born and so they watch shows or talk together.

Kayli and Jake have become really good friends too.  If Kayli sees a spider or needs help with something you can hear her saying, "Jake, Jake, Jake, Jake" until he comes.  He often smiles when he hears her and he misses her when she is gone.  He likes to help and gets called on to help various family members quite often.  Jake is often Kayli and Teddy's walking buddy, and their ping pong playing friend.  

Tia and Brigham make video calls to Aunt Kayli quite often and Kayli loves that she gets to hear from Tia more often than before.  She also loves our fun Brigham.  If she shows up at their door Brigham will probably be in the window waiting and if Mike is home he'll greet her with a happy "Skillet!!" (Yeah I don't know).

Tia calls Trisa sometimes and Trisa and Kayli are often sending Marco Polos to each other.  Trisa sometimes calls Connor when she's driving home and he and Amanda invite Kayli over to watch a show or her and Jake to play games.

Sometimes they might struggle to communicate as clearly as they want, but they love each other which is a huge blessing to me, and one of the things I really enjoy when they are all together.
