Let’s play spot the difference, shall we? Can you spot the differences between these two pictures? Both were taken yesterday, about 5 hours apart. All were taken with the same camera, and I used a flash in both pictures , which is unusual in and of itself. There’s the headband, of course. [...] We have been watching a lot of episodes of the Cosby Show lately. Abby has fallen in love with the characters and Brian and I have fallen back in love with the writing and snappy dialogue. (We were both around 7 when the show premiered and remember watching it with OUR parents as kids.)

Obviously, there usually isn’t a family resemblance – at least not one for physical features – so we tend to look for connections that come from other places.

Has anyone walked up to YOU and touched your hair without asking? It’s her HAIR [...] OK, I’m not a huge political junkie or anything. But I’ve been watching very closely two people who are recently in the political eye. No, not Obama and McCain. Not even Palin and Fey. Nope, I’ve been watching Malia and Sasha. Honestly, could they be any cuter? And now I know I’m not alone. [...] Yes, she’s adopted. Yes, I know she’s black. Yes, I knew she’d be black before we adopted her. Yes, Brian and I are married.
