Bienvenidos, Hermano!
My brother comes home today. He’s spent the last 4 months in Mexico through a drink study abroad program. I hear he has had a lot of fun. He decided to finally join Facebook to keep in touch with friends. Yes, friends. He added me as a friend after 2 months and 139 friends later. No hard feelings, though!
Anyway, my kids are SUPER excited to see their Uncle Geoff. They’ve missed him. Especially Mason. Well, they’ll have their share of my brother come next week when he stays at the house and helps my mom out with the kiddos while Brett and I are in Florida for a wedding. If those 5 days don’t serve as birth control, I don’t know what will. I can’t wait to hear about everything that happens while we’re gone. Should be an adventure!
Geoffrey is 7 years younger than me. By that point in time, I wasn’t looking for a sibling. I had everything I needed. I should find the picture of the first time I saw him. My grandpa carried me into the hospital. My face says “I can’t believe you have to live with us you’re a BOY”. Not happy. I got over that for a few years, mostly while he was still non-verbal. Once he became verbal (and mobile, most likely), I went back to not liking him so much. Really, we probably became “friends” once I moved out and went to college. And even better “friends” when I got married. And since then it’s kept getting better! So I have no qualms about my little brother watching my kids. He will have a blast. And they will wear him out!
