A troubled combination pulls through

Brayden + Allie = good mojo
Matt + Nick = good mojo

Nick + Brayden = trouble

Allie + Matt = trouble

Nick + Allie = trouble

Brayden + Matt = trouble

the cause for much heartburn at our house

and then this email showed up in my inbox:

"I wanted to let you know yesterday I saw one of the sweetest things I have seen in a long time.  The cub scouts were on a bike ride and an older boy about Brayden's age was tandem biking with a boy about Nick's age.  It brought tears to my eyes.  Does that boy know how lucky he is to have those opportunities?  (He will when he gets older).  I love your kids and the way you raise them to be the bigger person.

Thanks for allowing me to share your kids."

that's right.  my little scout can't ride a bike so Big Trouble and Little Trouble hopped on a tandem bike together and passed off requirement 4f alongside the rest of the den.

good mojo or not

that's what being part of a family is all about.
