Brothers
He’s not heavy…he’s my brother…
I’ve been wanting to scrap these photos of two of my boys for a while now. Take on the first day of school last year while waiting for the bus, these pics show a glimpse of their relationship. I love how much patience the older has with the younger…well, most of the time! 
My youngest was quite unhappy to see him leave on the bus. I think perhaps being the youngest of a large family is a pretty good place to be.

This layout was designed using Lesley’s sketch design for this weeks CHF layout challenge. I hope you’ll play along…it’s a great sketch for anyone and if you’re just starting out, it’s super easy to follow. Here’s the challenge link.
Also…check out what Lesley and Kristine have done with this sketch!

Love this layout Julia - it’s so great to see your pages! You always come up with an amazing way to diaply your photos and stamps.
That is so sweet! What a cute couple of guys you have! I’m sure the older one is such a help to you…and a great role model for his little brother! Thanks for sharing!
