Happy B-day

On a more positive note, it's my brother's b-day today. My "little" brother, Joel, turns 28. He is the baby of the family, but married, and is also a dad to Isabella (2.5) and Ben (1.5). Joel and I were always pretty close growing up: playing in the sandbox, swimming in the pool, and eventually, watching shows like "90210" and "Melrose Place" in his room. Seriously! Even today, I have called him to check out things in my attic or basement, and he's always there.

We've certainly had our fights and disagreements over the years, such as hair pulling and vicious brother-sister hitting. But we eventually always wound back up as friends.

I'm very proud of him. He works for my dad on the farm, and he is a great husband and dad himself - always hugging and kissing Bella and Ben, and they adore him, too.
And no matter what, he'll always be my "little" brother.
I hope he has a great b-day!
