Makes me smile too. Here I am still trying to see if I can match every face with a name. I do pretty good on the girls, but those boys throw me every time.
I love that all your kids, except the boys, have a unique look. They all look like they belong and yet have their own looks too. (Sorry, I am blond...)
"Same recipe, different cake." That's what Mom used to say.
Martha, I too think it is fascinating how the kids resemble each other but are all different. Evelyn has the whispy strawberry blonde hair and freckles, and Kathryn, only a bit over a year older has darker skin and thick light brown hair....and Abigail with her dark straight hair, and Ben,Joseph,Sam, and Margaret with the curly hair. In this picture, Ben is the one on tippy toes, Samuel is scrunching down, the Joseph behind Paul with the tinted glasses, and Aaron behind the girls.
I am a stay at home mom with 16 kids, no twins, Army mom, wife to Paul (still crazy about him!!!)...4 kids are still at home....the kids: Emily 38, Abigail 36, Benjamin 34 (his wife Ashley and our granddaughter Anya 9, Elise 5,Declan 1), Mariel 33, Joseph 31(and wife Bethany), Aaron 30and husband Riley) MollyRose 29(husband Josh and granddaughter Lydia, 7+Ophelia 3), Samuel 27(wife Grace,Grant 5 and Ruth will be two in August) Margaret 26(and son-in-law Adrian! and Wulf, 5,Tennyson 2), Kathryn 25(and husband Darius, son Achilles 3, b Rhys will be 2 inJune, baby Jamison) Evelyn 23, Suzanne 22, Sonja 20, Jonathan 18 Charlotte Claire 16 and Camille 15.

Okay, the boys all have their own looks too, I just can't tell you which one is which (except the little guy, of course).
