Identical?



Pop's twin brother and his family came to town for Thanksiving. Over the years people have asked if Pops and Uncle B are identical twins. It remains a mystery to this day. My favorite story of their mistaken identity is the time when our Bishop here in New England was in Salt Lake. He was out for a morning jog near a canyon when he saw Pops out running with a dog. Well our bishop was excited to see Pops 2500 miles from where he expected him to be, however when he aproached Pops, Pops didn't act like he recognized our Bishop at all. Our Bishop was dumb founded. The runner looked like Pops, acted like Pops, talked like Pops... and then Uncle B said he wasn't Pops, but his twin.

Uncle B and Aunt J had a little baby girl 11 months after Abizella was born. I have been scrutinizing pictures of Iz since she was born to find any resemblance to Abizella. My reasoning being that Abizella looks so much like Pops, that if Iz looked at all like Uncle B than Iz and Abizella could pass as twins. After spending a few days with her, I have to conclude she does not look like Abizella's twin... but maybe could pass as a sister (being 11 months apart... her Irish twin!). Here is a picture of Abizella at 16 months:


And Cousin Iz


We have discovered a family trait... NONE of our kids are hearty eaters.
