If you listen...

One of the most beautiful things about having Jubilee in our family has been to watch Sam's and Amelia's love for her grow. I have thought of the song in this little slideshow so many times this past few months. It describes it perfectly. You can see in the first picture how uncomfortable Sam was, and who can blame him?! A new baby, one with iv's and all kinds of things in her, mama away at the hospital and then busy with baby at home, etc. Even Amelia, who professed her love so loudly for Jubilee, showed only a bit of interest at first. I kept reading other friend's accounts of instant sibling love and adoration, and I thought, "Well, maybe it's a twin thing. They have each other. " But then, oh then, slowly but surely their love started to grow. In their own time and in their own way. You could just see it.

Right now we are all under the weather, and you would think we were torturing Sam by telling him (again and again and again and again) not to kiss or breath in Jubilee's face. Goodness. What joy, though, to see these siblings bond. It's a gift. Here's a little look at the past (almost) three months of sibling love.



All for now,
