Devin is such a sweet, kind hearted, silly, caring, 9 year old who loves his brother very much.. If you think I am saying that they never fight or argue and its super peaceful over here in the Miller household you are completely wrong!!
I have recently noticed how helpful Devin has been with Brody. I over hear him teaching him to count, the alphabet, and colors.. I love that! I am sure Brody enjoys it much more with his big Brother since he wants to be just like him! A couple days ago they were jumping on the trampoline together and as I'm doing dishes I look out the window into the back yard and see Devin tickling Brody and there both giggling and being silly. They both stood up and started to jump and Devin was using such a kind voice and being extremely gentle with him. As I'm watching this I was thinking to myself how much God has blessed us with... I mean truly a blessing to have these boys in our lives!
Last night we went to the "ice cream for books" event at Devin's school. Its just like a book swap. You also get to play Bingo, hear a story, and obviously have ice cream. I could not get my eyes off of how much Devin loves to care for Brody. He was so involved in making sure Brody had books to bring home, that all his numbers were correctly checked off during Bingo, and just making sure he was having a good time. These kind of nights are my absolute favorite and even though not every second of every day is like that it surely outweighs are not-so-good days!

I enjoy watching Devin grow into the young man he is becoming and not to take any day with him for granted. I swear I blinked and he went from a little four year old who used to sneak out of bed every night and squish himself behind the couch thinking Ted and I wouldn't notice... to an independent young man who gets home from school, quickly rushes through his homework, throws his helmet on, jumps on his bike, and is off to play with his friends until dinner time!
Ah, time truly does fly by and life here on earth is short.

I just want to give Devin the biggest thank you for being exactly who he is, for embracing everyday with a positive attitude, and of course for being THE BEST BIG BROTHER!
-I love you more then words could explain! xoxo
