A couple of weekends ago, we got a surprise visit from Jacquelyn and Bill. It was an awesome treat to spend some time with them and of course, as soon as they were gone, both boys were asking when we would see them again.
Since then, I keep thinking about this phrase that Mom often used as we were growing up to explain why or how we did something. The topic of much of the recent visit was how similar Dante and my nephew, Matthew are in personality. Jacquelyn and Bill got a huge kick out of it, telling me what I was in for trying to raise a kid like him. I have no doubt that whenever my first gray hair decides to finally appear that I will absolutely blame it on Dante, as he sure gives me a run for my money. And I also know that even though I haven't been around Matthew on a regular basis in some years, if Dante turns out to be anything like him, then I did at least a few things right.
As soon as she got home, Jacquelyn even sent me an old picture to show how alike they look. I think these two shots are pretty close ages.....I guess Mom was right!
