Brothers 2004

There's no question that Timothy and Matthew loved each other very much. They loved to play together all day long. The pair always had fun, chasing Lily around the back yard, watching SpongeBob on TV, playing games on the computer (OK, so Matthew played and Tim watched, but they were still together.

  Even if it's just hanging out by the pond with Grandpa feeding the ducks.

 Or, tossing rocks into the icy Atlantic Ocean in Marblehead. Is Matthew showing Timothy which rocks are better for throwing? Not likely....

Just hanging around the house is always better with a brother by your side. Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Despite how it looks, it was always a challenge getting photos of the two boys together. They never sat long before they started wrestling over something.

Of course, they wouldn't be boys if they didn't fight. Especially when Matthew tries to steal your cake! And he doesn't even eat cake!

But, Tim had his moments, too. Especially at the supermarket, with Tim in the carriage and Matthew pushing, Tim used to love to slap Matthew's hands to make him steer funny. Matthew hated that!

Dad! Tell Matthew to give me my toy back!

Papa! Timothy won't stop pressing the buttons on the computer!

 Yup. Having a brother to hang out with was pretty cool. I know that Matthew misses you, too, Tim. We all do...

I was raised not to question
promises the Bible makes.
But how could the Almighty
have made such a terrible mistake?
