Three little equations

I have an obsession and it has become a serious problem. I've been ignoring my children and neglecting housework even more than I usually do. For the last several weeks I've been scanning thousands of negatives, organizing several thousand digital photos, and uploading them to a photo storage website. It's been a little insane. And super fun. It's been pretty cool to see pictures from my and Rich's childhoods and notice glimpses of our kids' expressions in us. And after I saw my friend, Jen's, photo book with a comparison of her son, Luke's, baby pictures against hers and her husband's, I decided it would be fun to do here. And YOU can decide who has won the genetic competition between Rich and me. Oh, and I do apologize for the pixelated pictures. I enlarged them for comparison's sake and forgot to adjust the resolution and am too lazy to start over again. To begin, here's me:


Cuteness.

Nervous.

Scary hair and shirt.

Now Rich:

Isn't it funny how he looks exactly the same today but with more hair?

I know you all want a suit like that for your baby boys.

Awwww.

Ok, now Ryan:

When he was a baby people said ALL THE TIME how identical he looked to Rich. I beg to differ. What do you think?

Here's Macie Moo:


She's somewhat of a mystery to me. She definitely has more of the Bond eye shape and a little cleft in her chin like Rich, but I don't think she looks that much like him otherwise. My sister says she sees me in her, but I don't see it. What are your thoughts?

And Miss Juliet:

I see a little of me in her--the forehead and we both have cowlicks. But in her I see more of Rich. And who I really see in her is. . .

Rich's sister, Caroline.


Holy smokes, if you replace those blue eyes with Juliet's brown eyes, they'd look like twins. Do you agree?
