Wordless Wednesday...My Mini-Me

It’s been a long time since I’ve done a Wordless Wednesday post.  No particular jkreason, but I thought that now was the time to show you my mini-me.

 

Since I don’t have any children of my own, I had hoped that I would have an influence of some sort on my 2 nieces.  

Were you to listen to my brother, you would know that I have...whether it’s a love of shopping, purses, bling,sunglasses, or the color purple.

But now there is a mini-me thanks to my oldest niece.  

 

Meet Julia Katherine, my great niece, or as I like to call her JK (after JK Rowling)

 

She has, so I’ve been told, my chubby cheeks, my hair, and according to her mother...my temperament and bossiness. (I’m taking the fifth on this.)

 

jk and me jk

 

 

I only hope that the world JK grows up in will not be the one I see looming over the horizon.  But a world where every child born will have the same opportunities as every other child. One where we learn to celebrate our differences not use them to divide us.

Hi Kathy Streib My Asian wife has the same problem as you, no kids of her own. But she also shares your penchant to involve herself in the lives of her nieces and nephews. And this is just fine with me.

BTW She is a real cuties. You must have been a doll when you were that size. Sorry, you are still a doll.

Hi Peter Mohylsky I'm not sure what kind of world this is becoming, but then again, it feels very much like the 60s to me. 

Thanks James Dray It's been months since I've seen her but she is supposed to look just like me.

Hi Sharon Lee she loves grabbing her mom's sunglasses and wearing them.

Bill Roberts Thank you but I have a feeling I might have been a pain in the you-know-what.  No one could tell me anything. 

Ron and Alexandra Seigel I was informed that last night she put on some pearls with her nightie!

Liz and Bill Spear if I have my way, she will know that she can do anything she wants to do in life. 

Don't we though, Michael Jacobs I would love for that  to come true. 

That would be my hope, Thank you Janice Ankrett

You are very perceptive.  Dick Greenberg From what I understand, she is bossing her two brothers around already.
