Family Resemblance

The top picture is Grandma holding Jamesie, and the next one is Grandma holding baby Melanie. (And then for comparison, there's me holding Jamesie, from Halloween.) I think James takes after his mama!

You'll be sad to hear that we missed out on our Thanksgiving photo opportunity -- we were in such a hurry to get the turkey into the oven in the morning and on to the table in the afternoon that we didn't remember to pose the babies next to the turkey for size comparison. (This year, the turkey wins -- it was around 17 lbs, and James and Mattie are in the 11-13 lb range.) Oh well, I don't think there's going to be any shortage of baby photos of either one of them!

We had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend, and all our company made it home safe and sound. Since Uncle Adrian managed to catch Cousin Daniel's cold, we didn't get to see them. We were disappointed, but fortunately we'll see them for Christmas.

Yep, I would have to agree with that! James is going to take after his mama! And goodness Grandma, you look the same that many years later! Go grandma!

Glad you had a relaxing and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love Auntie Ann
