Trying to settle the argument with my aunt of who my daughter looks like, I pulled this together. That's me on the left and Kitsune on the right.

I'm going to say Kitsune, but there's obviously plenty of you in there Choco.

The facial expression makes Beans match Kits more, but with a smiling photo of you, that might reverse.

I think she looks like Kitsune way more than me. It's funny, though, because people say she either looks JUST like me or JUST like him. No one says "Oh, a good mix!"

Either way, I'm not sure where her abject cuteness comes from.

I've had people tell me my girls look just like me, then they meet Pete and suggest I wasn't there at all...

My mother-in-law seems to think that the highest compliment you can give someone is that their children resemble them. She is most especially determined to do this when the child is mixed-race like two of her grandchildren. Someday she's going to start marveling in the grocery store at the cross-racial resemblance of what turns out to be an adopted child, I'm just waiting with bated breath.

I noticed older Asians do the same. My mom said we should say the baby looks like the dad so his side of the family would love the baby. It's usually the mother's side of the family who loves and care for the baby more. I don't know about this society, but for Vietnamese, the woman goes home to her mother to give birth and to be taken cared for.

I brought the box of pictures in to work last night, and started scanning them. These are all from the pre digital days....

Spencer was a cute little bugger:

Those are great! Are you scanning everything you have, or just the greatest hits?

I went through everything, and removed duplicates and blurry shots, separated them into pics of spencer, ripley, cats, other family, etc. I plan to give a memory stick filled with them to jinx as a peace offering at some point.

A nice and much tidier alternative to your head on a pike.

I wish you luck, it sucks dealing with the unreasonable and unforgiving.
