Who does Callie look like?

Good news: we are all recovered from our sicknesses, and Jeremy got back safely last night! The 4 days without him weren't as crazy as I thought they'd be, but I'm sure glad to have him back.

I was looking at old photos of Jeremy as a kid, and I thought I'd post a couple in comparison to a recent photo of Callie, just for fun.
In case you couldn't tell, the first two are of Jeremy and the third photo is of Callie. But I think that Callie has my hair, or lack thereof as a child (I'm the older child in the photo below, holding my sister Connie, who is 16 months younger):
Who do you think Callie looks like? We'd love to hear your thoughts :)

Surviving Sicknesses

Things have been pretty hairy around here lately with sicknesses. First, Callie came down with a nasty stomach virus that just wouldn't go away. She was on the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, apples, toast) for two weeks. Now, she won't touch bananas or apples. I hope she'll decide later that she likes them again! Then, I (Anita) got a horrible flu-type thing. Fever, complete with chills, cold sweats, and a sore throat. To make matters even worse, it got passed on to Callie. And then, Jeremy got pink-eye. It started in his right eye, and spread to his left as well. So we've been a pretty miserable-looking and -feeling bunch. Thankfully, Zane never got sick. I guess he just has so many immunities built up from breast-feeding? Anyway, the fevers are now gone. We are left with Callie's residual stomach bug and Jeremy's pink eyes. And worn-out bodies all around.

Jeremy's going out of town for 4 whole days starting tomorrow, so I (Anita) am trying to psych myself up for that. He asked me, "What do you plan on doing while I'm gone?" "Surviving," was all that I could think to respond with.
