I was out and about today and received negative comments about the size of my family. She mentioned the “perfect family” as being one boy and one girl-if you even have more than one (she also mentioned “adding to the population”)! I felt sorry for her because she never got to witness that moment of unselfish love between brothers that you had the opportunity to photograph.
You’re very wise to involve your children in every aspect of Apollo’s life. I’ve never been sorry (though often criticized) for including my other children in their brother’s life-long health battles in and out of hospitals. It has developed their character to see the hurt in others and respond with tenderness & love.
This is how my 17 yo and 3 yo are with each other.Tonight the 3 year old got down on the kitchen floor and kept saying to his older brother,” Awmy rawl,awmy rawl.” So they proceeded to Army crawl all over the dining room floor and under the table.Love the the love they have for each other.
we have crossed paths a few times on other sites, my son was born with a double aortic arch too. would you mind sharing some of the sites that you use to gain information on what life will be like as these little guys grow? i find myself wondering all the time. thank you.
Thanks for commenting Kelly…I’ll see what I can do. I am trying to figure out how to get the info in one place…I don’t want to overwhelm this blog with DAA information, yet don’t feel like keep up with another blog 🙁 Have you joined the Double Aortic Arch Facebook page?
I love how evident it is in your photography that your sons are going to be wonderful, caring fathers one day.
EXACTLY the comment I was going to make! What woman wouldn’t find this picture incredibly attractive?
Is it just me, or does Apollo look happier lately?

I LOVE these photos. Especially the last one. They make me tear up with happy tears. So incredibly sweet.
Thanks. I know I’ll treasure these for years.
