They're Definitely Cousins

Wes is on the left, with big cousin Simon on the right (not so big in this photo)!

Look at that family resemblance, or is this just what Gough preemies look like?

Thinking of you today, Paula.

I have the Williams Sonoma candle (spiced chestnut) lit in my room while Wes is taking a nap (he woke up at 6:45am). This candle is the same scent as the candle you gave me at my 26th birthday party, which ended up being my engagement party! Whenever I smell it I think of the night I knew I was becoming one of your daughters....and then Jeff and I bought more of these candles and brought one to the hospital when Wes was born...so now it also reminds me of when I brought your 4th grandson into our family. I love how scent triggers memories and emotion, this scent is Fall and family to me...some of my favorite Fs ;).

We love you so very much and hope that this week will be even better than the last and that you will continue to get stronger and stronger as the taxol leaves your body.

love,
jenny

OH MY GOSH!! I know even pictures of them at almost one year are astounding I loved looking at this comparison AND remembering you taking those photos of me and little Simon!
looking forward to seeing what sweet little Amelia looks like, so far all the boy cousins look distinctly Gough!

These guys even look alike from San Francisco! That is crazy. I hope you are doing well mom, we are having fun/working hard to make the most of our tour! Last night I had a crepe with bananas, carmel and vanilla ice cream...it was very good.
