Big Brother welcomes Ethan with a kiss

I've said before how sweet Eli is, well he was very happy when his little brother came, he even watched the entire event, and wanted to give him a kiss after they had him all cleaned up.  I thought this was a beautiful picture.

You're blessed with a beautiful family.  That is a very precious picture.  It reminds me of one of my favorite Elton John songs, "The Greatest Discovery".  It's from his first American released album in 1970.  Here are the beautiful lyrics:

Peering out of tiny eyes, the grubby hands that gripped the rail  wiped the window clean of frost, as the morning air laid on the latch.
A whistle awakened someone there, next door to the nursery just down the hall.  A strange new sound you never heard before.  A strange new sound that makes boys explore.

Tread neat so small, those little feet amid the morning his small heart beats.  So much excitement yesterday that must be rewarded, must be displayed.

Large hands lift him through the air.  Excited eyes contain him there.  The eyes of those he loves and knows, but what's this extra bed just here?
His puzzled head tipped to one side.  Amazement swims in those bright green eyes, glancing down upon this thing that makes strange sounds--strange sounds that sing.

In those silent happy seconds that surround the sound of this event, a parent smile is made in moments.  They have made for you a friend.
And all you ever learned from them until you grew much older, did not compare with when they said, 'this is your brand new brother'.  

Blessings  ((0.~))
