Birthday Twin

James is Etta's birthday twin. By some strange twist of fate we found this fact out when we ran into Brian Redmond this fall up in Moscow. We both went to school with Brian at U of I. He actually took my place in the brass quintet when I student taught. And he and his wife had a kid the same day Bob and I did. Weird.

So we were able to go up to Moscow last Wednesday to introduce them and hang out. We had fun catching up, but the kids weren't too sure of each other. And trying to get both of them in a good picture, well, you can see how that worked out...

Over here...



No, over here.



Okay, we'll stand sort of close together. In the same area anyway...



This is as good as it gets folks.



It was nice to see that they are about the same size and about at the same place developmentally. Even two weeks can make such a difference at this age. We are hoping to get to hang out more before Brian is done with school.

[And if you put them together? You get . . . Etta James!!]
