Heckle and Jeckle

or maybe I should just call them Goober and Gomer. I was going through some pictures the other day and came across this: This was taken at Christmas 2006. Jacob and Kaleb were being their usual serious, studious selves when they spotted a giant spider. Well, geez, what could they do but jump into each other's arms, screaming like little girls?

Okay, so yeah, they were really just goofing off and doing everything in their power to act like fruitbaskets. The fact that I can't get them to pose nicely for longer than 2 seconds has long been a source of angst for me. Kinda cute though, aren't they? My boys...my very own set of Irish twins (they are exactly 11 months and 9 days apart in age). This will probably be one of my favorite Christmas pictures in the years to come. Oh heck, who am I kidding? It already is!

  1. Good morning Kari...I happen to love that photo!

    I was going through your book list and find we like some of the same authors.

    We're going to the Friends of the Library book fair Saturday. I'm looking for a few "pretty books" for the new secretary, among others. I always love digging through all the books at the fair and blogged about it last year.
