For the most part, Benjamin just seems to bother Gavin. He gets into his stuff, knocks down his creations and wakes him up a few minutes too early in the morning. Not until Ben picked up a lightsaber did Gavin see the potential of his little brother.
Benjamin is at this place where he loves to do whatever he sees someone else doing. That comes in really handy when it comes to dumping the trash. . . not so handy when it comes to using scissors. Gavin has demonstrated a lightsaber duel well to his little brother. Ben even attempts to make the same sounds Gavin makes. And though I tried many times to get a picture of it, I failed to capture his favorite part of this role-playing game--dying. It's hilarious to watch Ben get wounded and fall to the ground!
The weather is finally shining gloriously Spring-like, and with the time change finally happening this past weekend, we're soaking up the extra daylight. We leave on Thursday for an Easter trip just across the border into France. For those of you who know of Cody's previous disdain for anything French, you'll recognize what a momentous trip this will be! Seriously, we are really looking forward to some time away, exploring a new place, eating different food, and just playing together as a family. Next week's blog will be delayed a few days, since we won't be getting back to Bologna until Tuesday evening.
We'd love your prayers for a really refreshing time for all of us--especially that no one would get sick and that we'd have safe travels. Bon Voyage! (That's French, isn't it?)

It's so fun to see them playing. And interesting that we have similar dynamics in our family. Just in the last 6 months have Tima and Ella started playing together well.
I wish our kids knew each other, but I'm trying to be patient. We were dreaming of a vacation in Italy this summer, but have decided to stay closer to home. Sad, though.... because we won't see you! (Unless you feel like a trip 'just across the border' in the easterly direction!)
