For any stranger observing my children at play, they would never suspect relation. Anna is rather skinny with long, straight brown hair, and Olivia is rather 'full' with short, curly blonde hair! The only thing they have in common is their height. I'm guessing that many assume Anna gets her physical characteristics from her father (who is skinny with brown hair) and Olivia gets her looks from me ('full', usually blonde hair). I have always maintained that Aaron's side of the family is responsible, regardless of my usually 'full' appearance these days! Both Aaron's mother and sister are over 6 feet tall--Aaron's brother is almost 7 feet tall! But it appears that even I was indirectly wrong to who the real culprit was: Aaron HIMSELF! As a courtesy to my recent revelation, I have posted this picture of Aaron who is probably 2-3 years of age (same as Olivia). Everytime we ask her who is in the picture, she promptly responds, "me"...duh! And anyone who has seen Olivia asleep in a stroller or chair would probably be conviced as well. The entire picture, however, is the only thing that made Aaron and I sure that it wasn't her---I photoshopped a young Rose Bland (Aaron's grandmother in Florida) out of the picture. FEAST YOUR HEART OUT! I thank God for wonderful pictures like these that bring so much joy into our family, not to mention fodder to taunt my husband!
