Recessive Genes At Work

I was just downloading some pictures from my camera and came across one that I took of Abigail the day before yesterday. I never would have thought 2 out of our 3 children would have blue eyes...of course, Abigail's eye color could still change to green. Hudson's great grandfather had blue eyes, as well as his Uncle. My grandfather, aunt and her four children all have blue eyes. Don't get me wrong, I don't sit around and ponder these kind of things all day. I always assumed that at least one kiddo would have Hudson's brown eyes..but he does have 2 sweet nieces and a nephew that have some gorgeous brown eyes. :)

I love that sweet picture of those gorgeous baby blues! Are they as bright and light as Maxwell's?
I totally understand those ponderings. I'm amazed that I have 2 blue eyed kiddos. I thought for sure with both Mason and my mom having really dark brown eyes that at least one of the girls would get them. I guess between my grandmothers, Memaw and Margaret..the light eye genes won out!
