The friendship of brothers

A few weeks ago - ok, it was more like over a month ago - we were able to go an attend the baptism of Jonathan's big half-brother, Kien - and also spend some time with Kien and his mom's family. It's amazing how things work out and to find out later on in life that your family's could have crossed years before they actually did. Kien's mom is now married to a dear friend of mine from high school. I remember hearing stories about Kara's older brother, Lee - and then to find out that he is my son's half-brother's stepdad!!!! Did you follow all that?! Yeah - it's a little tangled web - but Kien was excited when he found out he was going to be having another little brother when I was pregnant - that Chanthy (Kien's mom) and I decided that neither of us had any problem allowing the boys to have a relationship. Brothers will be brothers - and these two are no exception... they have just as much fun when we get them together!

On the drive over to Caldwell, I couldn't help when we were at a stoplight to snap a couple of pictures of my handsome little man... who obviously thought I was trying to hand him the camera...





The after-baptism party at Chanthy's was full of children running crazy - or so it seemed! But it was a joy to have a house full of family and friends to help Kien celebrate the wonderful decision he made to be baptized!








Oh.... brotherly love!



These next couple of pictures show you exactly how busy both of these boys are... and trying to get them to both smile at the same time... well, ya know - there are just more important things to be doing!











Congrats Kien on a wonderful day and thanks for sharing it with us!
