seeing double?

okay friends, funny story for you. i've now been stopped not once but twice by random strangers who have asked if my girls were twins. no, you don't have to re-read that sentence. you read it correctly the first time. hard to believe, i know. the first time was at church, the second time was in the grocery store. both times i've probably had a look on my face that answered their question (and maybe questioned their sanity) but always smiled and said "no, they are just sisters," without stating their obvious age difference. there are days when i think my girls look a lot alike in a lot of their features, especially when i pull out avery's old pictures, but there is a distinct difference in them too...they each have their own look. now, maybe i see the difference in the two and 1/2 years between them....clearly that's a given. maybe i'm the mom and i just see two different girls.




you tell me, looks aside, would you mistake an almost four year old and a 17 month old for twins? come on.................


a little perspective on their size difference....i'm just sayin'

That is really crazy! It does not surprise me though. Some people can be completely NUTS!

Well, if people ask you if the girls are twins I can only imagine how many people are going to think our boys are twins at 12 months apart! I see what I have to look forward to!

uhhh they look NOTHING alike. not to mention their size difference...God love stupid people!

That cracks me up!! Huge difference! Maybe they think Addison looks older than she is because of her long, thick, beautiful hair. That is the only thing I can come up with. Seriously, you can clearly see they are NOT twins.

Please at least tell me that they were wearing matching outfits!

What is it that matching clothes are ONLY for twins/multiples???????
I got the same thing, when I dressed Jason & Allen alike. Jason was petite & blonde, Allen was pleasantly plump with THICK red hair. Yep...they looked like twins. When Wade came along, I thought surely people would not think they were triplets....WRONG!
Should have named them, DARRYL,DARRYL & DARRYL :)
