Seeing Double



My cousin, Elizabeth, got married this past weekend in Dallas. It was a great wedding and a good reason to get a babysitter for Friday AND Saturday night! We also had a lot of family in town, including my grandmother's (Mimi-my mom's mom) twin sister. We call her Mimi Margo and she lives in Michigan where my grandmother is from. We haven't seen Mimi Margo in about 6 years so it's always fun to see the two of them together. They use to look more alike, but Mimi hurt her back a few years ago and has gotten a little frail. I remember as a child being very confused by the two Mimi's and never being able to tell which one was my grandmother.

Sunday afternoon Mimi, Mimi Margo, my Mom and Tom came over to see the boys. William just stared at the two Mimi's, not knowing which one was which. We asked him to pick which one he thought was Mimi, but he wouldn't do it...smart guy. It was cute to see how excited Mimi was to show her sister her two great-grandsons.
