Hands off!

It is well documented on this blog that Hope and Grant truly love each other, but don't always enjoy each other. This summer has been no exception. I can't count the number of times I've said, "Keep your hands to yourself!" when they're annoying each other or invading each other's space.


But then, there are the less frequent times when I catch them loving each other, holding each other, or playing nicely together for long periods of time. Those moments make my heart swell with love and appreciation for both of them, and the way I know they feel about each other.

Maybe I'm just wishing for another week or two of summer, but I have a feeling that when I look back on this time before school starts, I'll remember these sweet times more than the (more frequent) bickering times. Rose-colored glasses, maybe. But these are the times that matter!
