Thanks arguy and kay! Why, from the mailman of course!

Actually it's somewhat of a joke in our family...Candace and I both have redheads on both sides of our respective families...but she and I have brown hair. But at least with the redheads from my side they have all popped out from non-redheaded parents, so it really doesn't seem odd to me.

However, this is what is odd. (And before I say this, everyone, let me make it very clear that I KNOW that I know that my wife has never cheated on me, for a variety of reasons, so please no insulting insinuations--just assume that everything is as I state it is, because it really is! Additionally, all of our kids look alot like me, or at least we are always told so. Okay?)

Candace and I each have brown hair and eyes. First comes our redhead with green eyes. Okay, that's a little wierd, but whatever. Lots of redheads in the fam as previously mentioned and green eyes from Candace's paternal grandmother.

Then comes the boy. Blue eyes, just like my dad. Hmmmm....

Then comes our youngest, who at 11 months appears to have dark green eyes. Definately not brown or any variation thereof.

Candace=2 brown eyed parents

Jeff=1 Blue eyed parent, the other brown.

Jeff n Candace=both have brown eyes.

We have 3 kids=2 green, 1 blue.

Crazy, huh?

Montana!!!!! What the "hell" are you talking about "regretting" this photo??? You look to me like the academician-intellectual types I see roaming around Harvard, for "heaven" sakes!

I'm on the phone with the airlines making arrangements to fly into Phoenix as I type this!!!! Hope they serve red wine on the plane!

See ya soon,
June

It's hard to tell from my picture Jeff, but I have red hair. It was much more like your daughters when I was younger, but it's a lot browner now. All our girls are blond and brown haired. You know red hair is "Viking" don't you? (its origins are not really Irish like most people think it is).

Thanks ibcwife! Just lucky I guess.

Yeah, no doubt.

When I used to work for a homebuilder/developer a few years ago, I used to tell people I was a Viking: pillaging the land and overcrowding schools for a living.

Gotta go start the grill.
