Brothers Will Be Brothers

I love this picture, the suits, the dignified looks and yes, the hair! The little one on the far right, so young, yet has such a poised look about him. I wonder what their personalities were like off camera? Who was the silly one, who was the intellectual one, who was the helper? Pictures like this give us a quick glimpse into a family, just for a moment. Thanks for sharing, great picture!

Spooky

Wonderful photo! The shadows in the background and the low lighting give this photo an inherently spooky feeling. Also loving the family resemblance present among all the handsome brothers.

Sans Sisters

Only boys in the family. And yes, their eyes were most certainly blue. Dad's eyes were very intense blue with golden flecks( he's the one in the very front on the left). That hair, by the way is "gel-proof." My son, two nieces and I all have the same hair, and the same issues, heh heh.

Brothers

Such fine looking young men, great lips and eyes! Bet they were blue. They all resemble each other except for the youngest on the right but he may be growing into the "look." They are so close in age, which makes for one busy household. Mom must have been a busy cook in order to feed this crew their meat and potatoes daily, not to mention the laundry. Any girls in this family to help Mom? Guess the hair gel ran out by the time it was passed to the brother on the left who is almost sporting the "Kramer" look.
