Mom & "Dylan Delight" our new nickname for him.
Me (in one of the sweaters we both have) & Kaleb the Elf.
While home in Oregon, we kept dressing in very similar outfits... same color top with same color pants, etc. Then I went into her closet because I was missing a shirt and found 2 sweaters that I thought were mine. I took them to my closet only to find the same two sweaters in mine. We had the same exact sweaters... same color, brand, and one was even the same size! This may say something about our sense of style...but I'm trying not to read too much into it. We also have the same tastes: I stayed in the car to nurse Dylan and Mom, Dad, & K went into Taco Bell. They called me to bring something out when they were done eating, and I ordered the same exact thing as my mom w/out knowing what she'd ordered: Mexican Pizza & light lemonade. Other than that, we both have a tendency to blink while pictures are being snapped, forget things, get food on ourselves while eating, and don't sleep. Oh, and after I left Mom made the same wii character as me on Jonny's new wii...we both couldn't resist being tall & skinny, but i guess even the hair, brows, etc. were very similar.
Maybe one of these days I'll become the wonderful, patient, fun-loving, scriptorian, exercise-holic, great cook, mom, grandma & friend that she is, but until then I guess I'll be happy with just being me. Miss you already, Mum!

Hey Sara! Nice blog. Randy and I got to be the beneficiary of your Mom's home cooking last week on our way to Seattle. Good stuff.
If you want to check out some up to date pics of Petra, look up Chelsea's blog:

I have one too, but Chelsea's better about blogging about what's really going on in our lives.
Well Sara, I have to agree with you, your mom is pretty amazing. I also have to tell you that you are not seeing what I see in you, because all of the things you listed about your mom in your last paragraph, I see in you and admire in you. You are one of my role models. So even if you don't think you measure up to your mom, I think your both pretty amazing!
You all are too kind! I am not that great, just ask Jonny and Dad and my sem class!!! I have always had an amazing mother and feel that I won't ever reach or accomplish all that she has. Talk about home cooking! She is the the best! Thanks Sary, you are the best and I love that we are alike in so many ways. I wish I had a lot of qualities that you have that I don't! Thoughfulness, talents in so many areas, unending energy, looking on the bright side of life, following through with things, and so many more! Kiss those babies for me!
