One of These Kids is Not Like the Other

I have been trying for a few days to get some distinctive pictures, but the girls won't open their eyes long enough (when I am close to the camera) to give you a good shot, so you are going to have to take my word for it. Anastasia and Amelia are not identical twins.

Grandma Skembo says Anastasia (Left in top picture) has a bigger lower lip and Amelia has a bigger top lip. Anastasia's eyes round out, where Amelia's are deeper set. Anastasia has a receding chin and Amelia has a cleft in her chin.

The way I see it, Anastasia looks more like her dad's side, and Amelia looks more like my side. Either way you look at it, they are precious, perfect princesses. Neither of them have defined eyebrows and the both have short, light lashes. Fortunately they are girls and just around puberty, they will be endowed with Makeup.


The two pictures with the open eyes are Anastasia after her first bath. She is more alert than her sister at this point. Then again, she seems more alert than her other sister as well.

They sure are precious. Probably everyone in the house is a little sleepy right now. =) How are YOU feeling, Jans? Are you healing okay? How are the girls eating?

Our neighbors twin girls looked different as babies. The parents didn't think they were identical at first. But I can only tell them apart by a little red mark on one of their faces now. And one of them is way more shy and afraid of people(she was always screaming in nursery for awhile) and the other more relaxed and outgoing.

Your girls are very cute. I take it there is no red in the hair though? I hope your well

Are her finger nails painted pink, or is that just the light?
