I remember this morning so well. It was just Zane and I, because I had a doctor's appointment. For some reason, on this morning, in this picture, his face changed. He looked older somehow, ready to be a big brother again, any day!

 First ice cream sundae, this was a big day for Zane. He loved it!

 Falling in love with baby Thatcher

April 2017

When Thatcher was brand new he and Zane would have brother cuddles every morning before school. Melted my heart every time.

And then sometimes they needed to cuddle when he got home too.
