Generations.....

My sister FINALLY updated her blog...and a picture of her son, Connor, freaked me out....reminded me of a picture of my dad, his Grandpa...so I decided to put them together for a bit of comparison. (I think there's a definite resemblance...but my brother Russ is the dead ringer for my dad!)
For a while, we've also thought my little boy resembles his Grandpa. We don't have too many pictures of my dad at a young age, but here is one along with one of Jared....what do you think? (My Dad is the older boy in the picture, the little one is his brother John) I think there are similarities, but maybe what we are seeing in Jared are looks and mannerisms that remind us of my Dad.

Jared is the winner in the grandson/grandpa look alike contest by far. But watch Connor walk the next time you see him. It's Dad inrecarnate. We all agree Russ is the closest in looks.

I also think Jared is the winner. They could be twins!

Your blog is just so cute! I'm glad you said something or I'm sure I would have never found it. No need to be a lurker come over to my this and that and leave me comment. He He He..JK your not a Lurker anymore. I don't read everyday I post much more than I read but I'll put you on my Google reader if you don't mind?

I think there is a good resemblance of Jared and your Dad. You'll be glad you posted the side by sides to look at later.

Are you into photoshop?

They all look like your dad! I think I have another pic of him younger. I'll look around and send it to you. Cody is a dead ringer for a young Casper. Actually, we all look somewhat alike. Don't you think?

Christiana....I was at church...just in the Nursery...busy day today, I guess I missed you. I hope next week's game is warmer, and dry! I'm a little un-enthused about that 8 AM start time. I'll be the one there in her jammies and baseball hat! ;)

wow! I think it's so cool to see all the similarities come down through the generations!
My brother Clayton is a dead ringer for my dad! Also, Madi looks a lot like my mom did at her age. Conor looks a lot like my brother Chad...
It's great to see parts of your dad live on in his posterity! I loved your dad! :)
