the sound of brothers

ISO 500, 1/60, f/1.8

During the day a hundred things are happening at once in our home. There is always more than one person talking and the only ‘stillness’ in the house was the paint color on the kitchen walls. “Was” because I repainted. So now, there is no stillness in our home, at least during daylight hours.

Then, the sun sets.

The girls fall asleep.

And my guys…they head up to their loft, leave the light on for a bit and laugh.

Some of my very favorite sounds fall down from that little hole in their ceiling.

Their sisters are already talking about when the guys move out and the girls get the loft. I, on the other hand, will be doing my best to walk slowly past their room at night just to soak in the sound of brothers.
