This is a question my sister and I have heard for years. We had a high school teacher who couldn’t tell us apart, and I know Heather has been mistaken for me on at least one occasion. There’s an obvious family resemblance, but for the life of me, I don’t think we look so much alike that you couldn’t tell us apart!
People have been telling me for a few years now how much Nicky and Kalen look alike, too. Again, I could see a bit of family sameness, but Nicky looks so much like Jason, and Kalen looks so much like my dad, I just didn’t see the “alike” in them.
Until I took this picture a few minutes ago.
Heck, their eyes even look the same color here! (Nicky’s are actually bluer, Kalen’s are a little more grey, like they look here.) You can still see where they each favor one side of the gene pool more heavily, but I have a feeling one of these days they’re going to be getting the same twin questions Heather and I have been fielding since our teen years.
That’s not such a bad thing, though. How could I complain about looking like my gorgeous sister?

The boys look alike, but not as much, to me, as you and your sister. I can see how you were mistaken for twins. My sister and I are polar opposites (in many ways). I have light hair and light eyes; she has dark hair and dark eyes. She is taller and thin; I am not, lol. My boys look similar, in that they both look like Brian. Their baby pics are harder to tell apart because they both had red hair. But, since Jacob’s has gotten darker the older pics are easier to tell apart.

You can definitely tell they’re brothers! It’s funny, because to me, all of my boys look drastically different but I have people ask me if the older two are twins all the time. Go figure!
