Isn't the gene pool a curious thing? I always wonder what the science is behind how children get certain traits and resemblances of people in their family line.
For example, this is Madeline's great-grandparents on Charles's mother's side. We see a lot of resemblance between Madeline and great-grandma Helen.
However, Madi also inherited my grandmother's widows peak. We think she's the only grandchild on my side that has it. Why did it take two generations to show up?
But Madi has always looked most like her daddy.... (Charles is four years old here. I love this photo.)
...and she has his city savvy, too. (She's been hailing cabs since she was 10 months old.)
But, any way you slice the gene pool...she is scrumptious!

Great pictures!! I see a lot of resemblance between Madi and Great Grandma Helen.
Indeed! I love the photos--I want to travel back in time and meet all of the great people we see in ancestral photos.
Charles was such a cute 4 year old!
I love the picture of them hailing a cab together!
What a gorgeous picture of the great grandparents. Maddie looks so much like her.
