I love listening to Brody talk. Right now he is in Colorado with Daddy Steve and Namaw. Whenever I call and talk to him on the phone he excitedly tells me about different things he's doing. He's told me about the "big mountains" and the fact that there's "no diving board at the pool"! Tonight when we called they were hiking by some waterfalls and were watching a deer. When Brody got on the phone he told us that he "saw a big deer eating grass"! His voice sounds so sweet over the phone.
As sweet as it is over the phone, it's even sweeter in person. The other night we were driving around town with the boys. Before long Barrett woke up and started to cry. Brody doesn't like it when Barrett is crying. We heard him say, "Bear-bear crying! It's ok Bear-bear!" Then he said, "Mommy sing Bible Tells Me So!" I think that the song Jesus Loves Me is a comfort song to Brody, so he thought that if I sang it to Barrett that he would stop crying. Most of the time it works...but that night I think Barrett was crying louder than I could sing. Before long we heard whimpering in the back seat. I looked back there to see Brody watching Barrett with tears forming in his own eyes. I find it humbling to see the compassion that someone who's not even 2 years old yet can have for others. I can't wait to see what God has planned for his life. I know he'll do great things for Christ!

that is so touching. what a sweet boy you have!
I LOVE Brody- he's so adorable and such a sweetheart! That story is too cute, thanks for sharing... now I have another story to "brag" about my nephew :)
how precious!!!
I believe that boy has got some "Hastings" blood in him!
Brody and Barrrett are such a pleasure to me. Just watching Barrett sleeping on our camping trip was such a pleasure. Brody told me that he was "fixing to be 2". Such cherishing remarks come from his lips.
We got to hear him talk for five days straight. It was so much fun!!!
