Not pictures of Evelyn

A lot of people I know are having babies nowadays. I suppose it's just "that time" in our lives. One trend I've noticed, however, is that these first born babies very often look strikingly like their fathers. Somebody jokingly said it was Mother Nature's way of reassuring the husband of his paternity, but whatever the underlying reason, it certainly held true with our first born. Evelyn looks very much like her daddy, so much so that I'm always a little pleased when someone remarks how she looks like me--it's not something I hear often.

A little while ago Justin's grandma mailed me some pictures of Justin as a baby. I was really amused to see them and am really amazed at how much Evie does look like he did as a baby. Ah--I forgot to mention this bit--Justin was also born in Germany while his father was stationed here with the army in '83. And Justin's father was also born in Germany (in the same hospital as Evie actually) while his father was stationed here. Kinda neat that it worked out that way, huh? Well, some of these pictures were taken in Germany. I think Justin traveled back to the states when he was around 3 months. The captions on the back read:
