My boys

Having 2 boys born 13 years and 3 days apart can have it's challenges, but mostly it's lots of fun.
When Eli was first born, and probably for hid first year, Jacob was happy to watch from a distance.
But as Eli has become more verbal, more mobile, and more interactive, they've become more interactive, and of course now, often gang up on me!
I try to regularly take pics of them together for everyone to see how gorgeous my boys are, but it's getting increasingly difficult as Jacob gets increasingly teenagery.

This pic was taken just before Christmas, and just before one of their epic pillow fights.
Poor Jacob gets hammered.
I'm usually in the background, constantly reminding Jacob to be gentle, having flashbacks of anything my brothers did together that ALWAYS ended in a fist fight, and Eli absolutely hammers him.

Jacob has convinced Eli he's a genius (of course!) through the wonder of Rubik's Cube.
Jacob learnt to master it this year, and he gets Eli to mess it up, then solves it.

I'm sure it won't be long before they're ganging up on me, then I have no hope!
