Eldest Grandson and Great-Grandson

 

That's my eldest grandson Brock on the left and his son, my eldest great-grandson Ridge on the right.

Look a lot alike, don't they? But as they've aged, they look less alike.

Have you ever noticed how some grandsons look more like their grandfathers than their fathers as they get older? That's true of my father and one of his grandsons as well as with my brother and one of his grandsons.

My son Douglas (Brock's father)

And Doug's grandson, Ridge. 

Douglas, high school.

Ridge, high school. 

Do you see the resemblances between grandfather, Doug, and grandson, Ridge? 

In their teen years Doug and Ridge look more alike than Ridge and Brock.

Maybe it isn't even the similiarities of their looks. It may be that, even though I've rarely seen Ridge and don't know what he's like, I imagine that his and Doug's senses of humor are comparable.

I know what my son's is like......

.....and judging from this picture of Ridge, I believe his sense of humor could be very much like Douglas'.

Ridge on the ridge - could he be any more droll than that?

Ridge was a year old before I got to meet him in person. Over the years I've only seen him a handful of times. I wish I could have seen him more often and known him better.

I hope he and his Grandpa Douglas get to know one another.
