No, its not the latest merit badge for Boy Scouts but it is important to know how to use a "gun" if you are Michael's brother. For the record, its not a real gun. Michael's best friend, Matt, is on a mission and Michael was asked to babysit the gun for 2 years. It does shoot these little white balls that I find all over the yard which is annoying. What's not annoying is the patience and love that this big brother has shown from day one to his little brother. I am so grateful for this relationship between these two. I'm especially grateful to Michael who has taken on such an important role in Andrew's life. With Todd gone so much of the time, Michael stands in as Dad for many things, and truly enjoys it most of the time, whether its parents' night at karate or taking him fishing. Motherhood is so much easier with a big brother in the family!

Oh how I love those boys! (And really dig Mooks coat too. Cute plaid.) My boys have a soft air pellet gun too and enjoy shooting old veges from the garden. Good times in small town, USA.
that is so cute, i know michael has been such a good brother to him, you are so lucky with such a huge age difference.
at least it's air soft not paint ball we went through that phase with paint on everything. where is matthew on his mission?
Matt is in Fresno, California - Spanish speaking. I've got his address if Ki wants to write him.
Hey you! It was good seeing you the other day. Someday maybe we will get to visit longer. (Maybe when we move back).
