Recent Twin Pictures

We still don't think they look very much alike, but there are many who can't tell them apart. I think that it is mostly a matter of not bothering to take the time to pay attention to the differences. At this point, they will correct you decisively if you get them mixed up, although I don't know how long we have left until they figure out that they can pull one over on us.


After 2-and-a-half years, I've finally decided in favor of dressing them alike. At first it was simply a question of maintaining their individuality versus intensifying their traffic-stopping cuteness.




Now that they've begun to run away from us in public, dressing them alike becomes a safety feature. This way, when one of them disappears, we can say, "My child is missing! She looks just like THIS!" and hold up the other one as an example.


I'm only half-kidding.


"Run away? US?"

They are definitely identical!

(I just watched the movie you have posted—Chicken ala Carte—heartbreaking.)

That's funny, Kim - sometimes we think they look so different that they might not even be cousins, let alone twin sisters!

In the top photo I can see the differences in them pretty easily. Natalie's face is longer and slightly narrower than the Noelle on the left. You can definitely see their separate personalities. Too adorable.
