Self-portrait

Jamin asked to use my camera the other day. Among the many pictures of toys, he snapped this self-portrait:

 While it isn't the most flattering photo, there are a few things I love about it. First, it captures the green in his eyes. Jamin inherited Scott's gorgeous hazel eyes, and you can occasionally see that hint of green. It totally melts my heart. 

Second, the angle of this picture shows the bone structure through his nose and cheekbones. My brother, mom, and I have those same features. They haven't been as prominent in Jamin's face in the last couple of years, so this photo was a neat reminder. 

There's something special about seeing your family in your children, whether it comes through their looks or their personality. Those traits meld together with their individuality in such an incredible way. I think that's what I love most about this self-portrait of Jamin: it highlights the balance that makes him unique.

Jamin also took this adorable picture of Travis:

 Gosh, we love these boys.
