I know, I know! I was just teasing with the share the wealth thing.... But I DO think it is so neat how ONE family can 'create' such DIFFERENT looking individuals as Mildred and Annika are to each other-different facial structures, different hair colors and textures, eye colors, skin tones-EVERYTHING...and yet they are both so lovely. I can't wait to see what Peanut looks like. If (s)he will look like Corynn and Matt or more like me. I just can't wait. Some families (like yours Leah-at least so far) the children look very similar. But then there is this one family, who has 10 kids this year and both parents are darkies (meaning dark hair and eyes) and yet they have several BLONDES in the bunch! Crazy. Anyway-I am babbling far too long trying to explain my light-hearted compliment. But it truly is a miraculous thing to see our children. They are miracles-each one. I am so thankful I have been blessed with the ability to have children because as much as adopting is wonderful and a blessing...seeing your own children brought forth from your own womb-seeing that Corynn has Matt's eyes exactly or that she has tiny ears like me. That is just the coolest.
How is it that ONE family gets all the good-lookers??? I mean, geez! Share the wealth, will ya?!?!?
ReplyDeleteRebecca, I think we all have beautiful children!
ReplyDeleteNot to incite a lighthearted war here, but I have to side with Leah! You and she both have your own beauties... :)
