Like Mommy, Like Daughter

We're still at my mom's house in Huntersville (we've been treating it as a sort of "home base" for our visits with family and friends this week). One fun thing about being here has been going through lots of my old stuff from childhood. I have to be honest and admit that most of what I found while cleaning out "my" room here (which mom has been begging me to do for months years) got trashed or donated, but it was still fun to look at it while I was sorting.

I found my college acceptance letter, my SAT scores, bunches of cards and notes from friends (some dating back to seventh grade!), old choir and band uniforms, all my prom/formal dresses, four or five pairs of huge (and colorful!) glasses that date me as a tween of the 90s, and a picture of mark wearing a marching band uniform with a mouth full of braces in a heart-shaped gold gilded frame (hott).

I also went through some of my mom's old picture albums from my birth and early childhood. And you know what? Despite all the comments about how Anneliese looks like Nathan, and even more comments about how Nathan looks like Mark (really? I still don't see it that much), it turns out Anneliese actually looks a good bit like I did at her age. Not exactly... but I think you can tell she's mine. What do you think?

If she really does look like me, I'm taking that as a compliment. Because I think she's gorgeous and I'm not ashamed to say it. :)
