Brothers

These boys make me smile.  Especially when they are like this.  The other day, David rushed to finish his schoolwork so that he could go ski with Elias in the yard before Elias' nap time.  He helped Elias get on his snow pants and skis and off they went.

This is Elias' first year of "real skiing" as last year he just got the skis on, and Knut had to hold/drag him along.  He wants so badly to keep up with David, who skis like a fish swims.  David has been giving him "lessons" and teaching him tricks of keeping his balance.

Then David got it in his head that they needed to shovel the driveway for Daddy while he was at work.  They're learning that the more they help out, the more time we have to play with them.

Elias shouted to David that he needed his skis off to shovel, and David ran to his rescue.

David got to work...

And Elias found a hill to climb instead.

It was good fun.  I love these boys so much.  They are growing up crazy-fast.
