Family Resemblances

Me and Priscilla
Me and Martha

Me and Bethany

Bethany's blog made me start thinking about family resemblances and who I've been told I look like over the years. I have been told many times growing up that I look like my sister, Martha. I've also been told that I look like Bethany. Who do you think I look like? anyone or no one?

Bethany looks most like you ....
and by the way, you look soo young!!v

Priscilla said...

I was 18 or 19 in that picture. I know because of the sweatshirt I'm wearing. It is a Case Western Reserve sweatshirt.

Rachel said...

Thanks Gudl. I do have some wrinkles. I like to think of them as happy lines!

Priscilla said...

Or maybe I wasn't. I had short hair there...I'm confused and wondering why I'm wearing that sweatshirt if I am older than 18 or 19.

Rachel said...

I think you were about that age.

judi/Gmj said...

yes, Bethany and you are similar, it all has to do with the nose. LOL!! Priscilla, don't catch the "I'm confused" bug! I rely on your level headedness when listening to "the sisters".

Bethany said...

Those pictures were taken in our old house in town... Does that help with figuring out how old you were?

Out of these three pictures, I think you and I look the most alike. Reminds me of when I went to the Specht's house and their daughter (who was about four) said to Mrs. Specht, "She looks like Rachel."

Rachel said...

gmj- You're funny!

Bethany- She has told me that we look alike too.

Heather said...

I think you look the most like Bethany, too! But, I think Bethany and Martha look alike, so there must be some likenesses between the three.

junglemama said...

Great pictures! I hope my girls grow up as close as all of you are!

Martha said...

Gmj, don't let Priscilla fool you. She's just as confused as the rest of us.

I'm guessing, by Rachel's hair and my "not pregnant" state, that this was taken in 1988. (Josiah was born in January of '88.) Rachel is wearing a ring, but I don't see a diamond... and Yes, she and Bethany look alike in the last photo.

Heather said...

Martha, you could be a detective.

Kim said...

I think you look like Bethany too.

Martha said...

I changed my mind. I think this is a pre-Josiah picture. Make it 1987. (We moved into the house in Dec. 1986 so it can't be before that.)

James Austin said...

Mmmmm... is that lasagna on the stove?

zbhvqbs!

Priscilla said...

It must be 1987 because I wouldn't wear that sweatshirt after that period of time.

Rachel said...

Jim- You're so funny! I never even noticed the lasagna on the stove in the background. Are you hungry?

Tracy said...

Well, I think that Rachel and Martha look most alike in these pics. And Bethany looks soooooo much like her mom! So, there you go. obviously you all three have similar features. Priscilla seems to have taken more after a different side of the family?
