Awww -

Beau looks so sad - and thin. I never realized how beautiful his eyes are.

Wonder when he comes home?

1. Oh my, that's so sad

but it must have been great to see each other again.

I can't get over how much Beau looks like his father.

3. how could you not notice his eyes?!

I think he looks just like his dad but more of his mom's eyes. I think Hunter looks a lot more like Neilia

I thought he looked thinner too :( guess he's more than 1/2 way done though. Hope they're all home soon.

4. I guess I should have said - LOOK AT THOSE EYELASHES -

He is such a cutie, and I agree that he looks like Joe, except for the eyes.

Such a good looking family - like the Kennedy's minus the scandals and the money.

6. How old is Beau? I remember seeing pics of Joe in his early 30's

and he was already balding. Beau might've lucked out.

11. Come to think of it - you are right. He was like 3 when Neilia died

and this would have been Joe's 36 year in the Senate. So if he's not 40 - he's right there.

7. male pattern baldness is X-linked, so passed from mother to son not father to son. nt

12. Y chromosomes are kind of puny - not many genes on them...

and baldness is certainly controlled by many genes, but it's one of the classic sex-linked traits used in genetics word problems (which I took in classes repeatedly and then taught repeatedly).
