One morning this week the boys joined us in our bed for snuggles with the baby. Mike asked Joseph if he was going to serve a mission and he replied with a firm, "No!". Next, he asked Hyrum the same question and he replied with a little laugh, "Yeah". Then Mike looked at Joe again and said, "Hyrum's going to go on a mission. If Hyrum goes, will you go?" Joseph thought for a second, nodded his head and said, "High-ya go, Joe go." It was such a sweet little moment and one that I hope they will remember later.
Today the boys had their last Sunday together in Nursery. Next week Hyrum moves into Sunbeams and Joseph will be on his own. They have wonderful nursery leaders and we always hear funny stories about the boys when we pick them up after class. When Joseph first started in nursery he had a really hard time and would often seek out his brother for comfort. Hyrum would sweetly hug his brother until he felt better and then the two of them would go off and play. The nursery leaders thought this was so cute and even took a few pictures of it. These boys have been so lucky to spend this time together! Things are going to be different for them both in the new year, but I hope that Joe will always remember the example of his big brother as he follows him through primary. The brotherly love that they are showing now is living up to their names.
