a growing bond

i love this. it doesn't happen much, but i'm beginning to watch as will and ava really start to enjoy each other. they managed to get themselves into this wagon...with drink and snack in hand, and they stayed there a good 30 minutes. chatting and babbling about who knows what. it's so fun watching them really start to play together...don't get me wrong, we still experience our fair share of sibling rivalry. but this "snapshot" now in my head makes it all worth it.

"To the outside world, we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time. "
