I decided to jump on the Love Thursday bandwagon as I have photos I would love to proudly share. I agree with the concept that there is enough negativity and complaining in the world...why not have some positive vibes out there as well? The kind that make you say "Awww" instead of "ugh"?

This photo is of my sons Ben and Caleb. Ben-on the right-came home from China at 4 1/2 years of age over 6 years ago. His brother Caleb came home from China just 3 months ago.

From the time Ben had only been home a year or so, he often spoke of China and things that he missed there. He also longed for a brother, but instead we felt prompted to bring home a sister from Haiti. He loves her dearly, but a much younger sister was not what he had bargained for.

When we approached Ben with the idea of a brother his age from China, he was all for it. I knew that Caleb would be a tad bit older (8 months older) and worried about the whole birth order thing and whether or not Ben could handle having a brother so close in age. We had read both positives and negatives about virtual twinning, but since most of the negatives related to virtual twins were in reference to two children being brought home at the same time and since Ben isn't the kind to worry about his birth order, we decided we would go ahead with it.

Ben couldn't be more thrilled with a new brother who is not only close in age, but who comes from the exact same province--Hubei--that he came from in China. Caleb has taken to sign language like a fish to water, and he communicates very well with his new brother. Sure they argue like any other brothers, but for the most part they get along amazingly well. As you can well see in the photo, a bedroom isn't the only thing they share. There's plenty of love shared as well.
