This is why I haven't been able to get to my cross-stich charts and such....had to get these finished before I start any major new project.
You guys are going to look so good!
One of these days I have to post a family shot or at least some kid shots! I sent a few folks a picture I took of DD in her new hockey jersey; she looks so tiny in it.
Cheryl
Wow - that's a great red! And the quilt looks good, too! Guess you're doing a family picture?
Well, looks like you deserve to do what you want!
ellice
Not so tiny, and definitely sweet expression!

Some days, I can't believe she's mine!
Cheryl
LOL yes, we do this annually and it goes out with the Christmas cards. Mother-in-law doesn't like the fun/goofy pictures, so this year is just for her. There will be NO MORE formal pictures after this year....every year will have a different theme to it....we are shooting for Civil War for next year's picture.

We did Civil War ones one year when we were first married. Had a tintype made with us dressed up in a photo studio in Harper's Ferry, WV. I looked *exactly* like my grandmother (whom I never met, but I'm named for her and just recently I got some pictures of her and the resemblance is uncanny...and a little disconcerting!)
For Mother's Day this year the DDs got together and took some candid photos of the two of them together, and bought a cheap frame. The one they had printed and framed as a joke has DD#1 sticking out her tongue, and DD #2 lookin' goofy, both very close-up. Guess what photo is still on display in my living room? That photo has more of "them" in it than ANY formal photo!

She looks so much like you that she couldn't possibly be anybody else's!

As a child, I was bony and gawky and above all klutzy - she's all grace and fluid movement. (unless her skate lace comes undone)
Cheryl
But the face looks like you - at least from the pix! Isn't the combined DNA effect wonderful, your nice smile, and someone's grace....
She just has to work up to that "don't need no stinking skate laces" phase. The most amazing skating thing - when we were doing some powerskating classes taught by the guy who teached the NHL ref powerskating - he did a thing which had us pulling laces from eyelets. He, personally, removed the laces, put them around his neck like a scarf, and proceeded to skate doing amazing edgework. No laces. All about the balance, knowing your center and feeling the ice through your skates.
DH - who is a solid kind of guy - is all grace and fluid speed, power on skates - when we first started hanging out and went to just skate together - I was astounded. What a surprise - and it still amazes me (cause I will never be that graceful on skates). And he loves to do the no laces thing - or at least unlace them down to just the a couple of rungs on the foot.

She looks like me - but not me as a child if you get that....
OK - he needs to show use that!
