Day 10 of Thanks

Today I'm thankful for genetics. There is the Mendelian, fruit fly, chromosome version which was always a favorite unit when I taught biology, but today I'm grateful for the genes passed down to me from my parents and grandparents and now on to Parker.

We're a pretty healthy bunch and both of my grandmothers are still alive today. Parker's blue eyes come from both the Appling and Hunter sides of my family.

Here is a picture of my maternal grandparents, Dorothy and Don Hunter, on their wedding day. My mother was emailed the picture today by my Uncle, Randy Hunter. I love going through old photos of my grandparents and parents from before I was born. Someday when I have free time (yeah right), I'd like to get them copied and organized for my brother and our cousins.
