From the day she was born, I have been watching this sweet relationship grow. I have always felt a bit jaded that I didn't have a big brother. I have long felt that EVERYONE needs one! I'm still working on how to make that work, but we all need some big guy who could seem tough and solemn to others, but be tender to you. Someone to protect you, defend you and, most importantly, TWIRL you when you are bored. Someone to bring over his cool friends to flaunt in front of. Someone to teach you cool handshakes and to let you win. Someone to pave the way, but always be checking back to see how you are coming along.
Autumn is particularly lucky. Two big bros, one close enough to share a few interests with and one old enough to erase all jealousies. When I thought of having kids, I mainly thought about me reuniting with souls that I had loved before, but I realized more and more that these four souls are continuing a bond from before, and I am lucky enough to watch them realize this fact.

I always felt a little ripped off by not having a big bro too. I love that he scores touchdowns but will take a minute for a twirl or two. Lucky little lady!
These pictures are GREAT. Frame 'em, my friend. Jaxen is a extraordinary big brother. It's a gift, really, to be like that.
