Comparisons.


My sister-in-law, Susan, has a theory about babies -- and she should know.  Her theory is that babies come in two flavors: Churchill and Eisenhower.

Most babies are Churchill.  But babies from my wife's side of the family are almost universally Eisenhowers.  I've posted previously about how Anna (above, right) bears a strong resemblance to my wife's side of the family.  In other words, Eisenhower.  Evelyn (above, left, duh) bears an equally strong resemblance to Winston Churchill.

Note that this does not necessarily mean that the baby in question grows up to look like Churchill or Eisenhower.  That would be ridiculous.  I mean, D-Day alone would have been a very confusing affair indeed.

Totally fail proof theory. I'm just saying...

Hmmm, My family only has Churchill babies. I mean if the kid does not have at least three chins it can't be related to me, but it is a beautiful theory.

Your blog was recommended to me by a mutual friend. I had bambinos al dente in November. Your writing is great, and it's nice to read about someone whose dealt with the same things we are dealing with and survived!
