Anyone up for a Now & Then picture thread?

I miss seeing all of the picture threads.... so I thought it'd be nice to start one.

Here is my precious Madeline's referral photo, and a photo taken a few days ago with a bucket on her head. Funny bunny that she is

the girls then and now

Here are some pictures of the girls at 3 weeks old, then at three months old, small pink thumbnail picture, and now at 3 1/2 yrs old. Abby is in the green sleeper at referal and Gabi in the pink outfit with headband. In all pictures Gabi is on your right and Abby on your left. Abby is older by 5 days and heavier but the girls are the same height. Abby is all trunk and head while Gabi is all arms and legs. Anna

Referal pic, poor John @ 3 months in an outfit Daddy selected (he obviously brought the Lions good luck, I think this was the last time they won a game), and his 2.5 year photo. This kid just keeps getting cuter and cuter (proud momma speaking here)!
