Genes: A glimpse into the life of a Crapuchettes/Severson


Last night just as I was about to turn off my light and hop in bed, I heard my computer "ringing" notifying me of a skype call. I answered it, and, not seeing any video on the other side but hearing noises and squealing, I knew it must be my mother. I instructed her to turn on video and before my eyes sat my mother and littlest sister with bright red faces. Not only did they have matching complexion, but both were sporting underarmour and also trying to talk to me at the same time. Apparently they had just returned from jogging and both were excited to tell of their new found inspiration to make this a nightly routine. Sure I was exhausted, but seeing  both my mother and sister together always makes me smile. I mean, I would be glad to see ANY of my sisters together with my mom, but this Amiel/Damaris combination is frighteningly identical. It's my mother Amiel, and Damaris, the little Amiel. 


For example:



They both get excited at the same time.





They take turns smiling into the camera.






They both have the same reaction to my jokes.







They both look at themselves while skyping (okay really, who doesn't?!)

And all the while I was was taking snapshots...


I must say, I absolutely adore my parents, four sisters, and brother. Speaking of brother, it looks like he's coming to visit me for TWO WEEKS! So those of you in the GF area between the 12-27th (March) let me know, I may bore him after awhile (plus I also have observations over spring break sooooooooo....).

Ummmm I know I have more to say, but I'll stop while I'm ahead (am I, though?).  

P.S., to my Alaskan folk, there is no Kaladis here. And I'll let you think about that one...
