family resemblance

{ Uncle Daniel and his carbon copy of a niece }

This is Uncle Daniel. He is not usually this grumpy looking. In fact he is really quite a nice fellow. And my word, does this picture ever crack me up. I predict it is destined to become a family classic and talked about for years to come. And is it just me or do they with the dead serious glare and the identical hair curling up at their ears, look alike? Uncle Daniel and Uncle Tommy Jay, who is also a really nice guy, came to visit us last week, and unlike the unfriendly vibe the above picture gives off, they had her in stitches half the time and all get along grandly. We even found her snug as a bug, inbetween the uncles at 4 am in the morning when David went into the guestroom/nursery in the morning to check on her because we hadn't heard peep from her all night. Apparently she had woke up sometime in the middle of the night and called out for Mommy, who was sound asleep in the next room over. Uncle Daniel (who, like the rest of her uncles, is a softy) went and got her and she fell right back to sleep cuddled between he and Uncle Tommy Jay until morning. Super sweet.
