Then and Now: Julie and Inanimate People

Tim — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:00:50 +0000

Something about international travel brings out the “I want to hang out with non-people” in Julie. Apparently:

Then (circa 2003, Krakow, Poland):

And Now (circa 2008, Ottawa, Canada):

Then (Family Vacation to Colorado — July, 2006)

Now (Family Vacation to Maine — August, 2008)

Then and Now: Alana’s Hair

Julie — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 13:35:29 +0000

Though sleeping in the car seems to be coming a less frequent past time for Alana, she still manages a few good, head-dropping, dead-to-the-world snoozes. Notable here is not so much how much she has grown, but how much her hair has grown.

Then: Alana in July 2006, Age 1

Now: Alana in April 2008, Age 2 and a half

Then and Now: Carson’s Baseball

Julie — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 13:45:47 +0000

Not only has Carson grown, but he has gotten more “formal” in his uniform for the sport of baseball over the past few years — probably a good thing since he likes to slide in the dirt at home plate.

Then: Carson in July 2005, Age 4

Now: Carson in June 2008, Age 6

Then: Carson in August 2005, Aged 3 and a half

Then and Now: Tim and Alana

“Then” was in 2005 and “Now” was at our “fancy dinner” outing in November, 2007.

Then and Now: Bridge Building

Julie — Wed, 21 May 2008 12:25:54 +0000

Carson became interested in playing with the Zome building set last week. It is a collection of white connector balls that have specific shapes for corresponding sticks to poke into it. It makes for building great geometric shapes. He decided to make a bridge and insisted on having his picture taken.

This reminded me of a picture that Benton had taken after a similar experience building a bridge back in January of 2005.

Ok -the directions Tim typed up for me so I could post to this blog are apparently dangerous in my hands, as I cannot seem to stop myself. You see, while looking at the pictures of Carson, I thought I would see what struck me as other good comparison pictures. So as not to unfairly leave Benton and Alana out of the mix, I will show off a few more comparisons for you to enjoy.

Benton – age 22 months – Winter 2001

Benton – age 8 years old – April 2007

Benton age 1 and a half years old

Alana age 1 and a half years old

So this last one does not show a lot of similiar facial features, but apparently both Benton and Alana know how to do the “bug-eyed” look when wearing pigtails (or pig “stubs”).

Carson — Then and Now

This post came about after I browsed through a few pictures on our computer. When I saw this picture of Carson, I was struck by how much the features he had as a baby (aged 15 months) are still so prevelant in his pictures at age 5 and a half years.

Carson – March 2003

Carson – July 2007
