Hannah has been talking a lot lately about what we have in common. I will see her doing something that I used to do and I will tell her "hey, I used to do that when I was little girl." And then she will see me doing something and say "hey, I used to that when I was a mommy." It's only fair, I guess.
She has also been coming up to me lately and telling me that "we have the same eyes." Actually, we don't. Hannah's eyes are true blue. She has two blue-eyed grandfathers. Brian's eyes are brown so she probably says our eyes are the same because they are closer to being so than her and Brian.
I have never known what color eyes I have. When people used to ask, I would say "not quite blue, not quite green." A few weeks ago I was looking up stuff about eye color on the Internet and I discovered that people in my predicament are considered to have gray eyes. Unfortunately gray eyes are not very exciting. Not very many people have them. No one writes song about them. And make-up manufacturers don't make pallets for gray eyes. You are have to get colors that will work with them separately. But, it is very good to finally know what color my eyes are.

A random person's gray eyes from the Internet. These look like mine, I think, except I have a darker outer ring.
Hannah and I together. This is one of the pictures that Hannah looks like and says "hey mom, we have the same eyes."
