Parallel Photos

We do recognize that time passes.  I understand that while we were in Kenya Maggie aged two years, and after departing with a 7 month old we returned with a 6 month old and a 2 1/2 yr old.  It's hard to remember that everyone else aged two years, too!  During these past month we've had the chance to visit and reconnect with some great friends.  There were a few photos from our travels in 2009 that I tried to recreate this year, 2011.  See what you think.

Then, Maggie and her very much smaller (though only three months younger) friend Andrew Rogers:

Now, the same size, mirroring their fathers' music skills:
