I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. I think it's because we all have such big brains. Blues - Like it or not is right. NATUI - Isn't that bedspread awesome? NFL circa 1975. Cat - I'll take it. Kelly - Lovely sentiment and I think your example illustrates that genes only go so far. It has a lot to do with environment as well. Damon - I'll take it! TUB - Fair enough, but a negative influence is still an influence. Heather - My Dad and I struggled for a long time about a lot of things. Hellbilly - Thanks for that! Jason - I know. It's scary. Rassles - I know what you're saying. Same is happening to me. But as my parents read this, I only say nice things... Xbox - Cause it's awesome? Laura - Distance makes the heart grow fonder? Gwen - That's the truth. I never thought it would be that way, but we read some of the same books, listen to some of the same music, and so on. Muskrat - Thanks, you too. Ms Picket - I'm sad to say that I don't... Courtney - I knew we had something in common. Mom - I don't know. I have a handful in a photo album. Joe - I don't set the alarm anymore because I have a 21 month old alarm clock in the next room. Gypsy - Thanks, I thought it was one of my favorites as well. MJRC – Yeah, I think you could be right.

Tyler has already picked up some of my mannerisms, which is awesome and scary at the same time. I just hope he never feels "the need" to set his alarm clock six times each night, just to be sure.

I cannot figure out where we are in the one with Dad. We have lots more of you as a child, remember the goofy smile one? That is one of Dad's many retirement projects is to put all the old slides on the computer. We will send you some really good ones you can show to Zach. Love You! And Happy Father's Day belated, because I probably will not remember in September! Where did you get these pictures? I cannot figure out where we are in the one with Dad.

Thanks for sharing those photos from your childhood. It's always nice to see those personal mementos from fellow bloggers. I can't say I know about father/son bonds. I wasn't nor am I currently particularly close to my dad. I wish I were. I envy you for your bond with your father. I think to an extent no matter how close we are to our parents, we end up saying the things they said to us. I mean we learn about how to be a parent from our parents, right? I just try to keep the good stuff from them and lose the bad stuff. This was a beautifully written post by the way.
