Photo test: Y chromosomes

This is a test of my ability to link a photo directly from Picasa Web.  It's also a chance to give everyone a good look at  Genetic Blakeness unleashed on the real world.  Last month we hosted [livejournal.com profile] e_m_b 's younger brother (hereinafter referred to for reasons I have never fully understood as "Southern Jones") and his wife (known as "Jeff's Lisa" to distinguish her from "Mike's Lisa" who is me).  They live in Tampa.  It is great fun to show Florida relatives around Chicago in January.

We met up with "Northern Jones" (Mike's older brother recently moved from Chicago to Mundelein) and wife (who has not yet changed her name to Lisa).  And their son and his wife.  And their daughter, my very own grand niece.  Also my son, who like the others carries Blakeness.  And we got this picture in a very good Chinese restaurant on Chicago's north side.



Please bear with me if this doesn't work right away, I'm still new here.

I'm guessing from the hair that the tall one in back is Larry. Geez last time I saw him he was still in the convenient pass around size!

Kinda hit me at Jess's wedding too. Coming down the aisle she looked so grown up and for the first time in a long time, I could see the toddler in there too. Maybe it's a Mom thing, or that her Paul (known as Pauler because he's taller than my Paul)is really good for her. Maybe it's both.

So, which person goes with which name in this piccie?

Good point. From L to R: Southern Jones (Jeff), Piano Jones (Larry), Northern Jones (Tom), Middle Jones (Mike), Fire Jones (Andy), and little Sophia who doesn't have a Jones yet (she was jonesing for noodles at the restaurant.)

Fire Jones is a Chicago firefighter. Piano Jones has a classical audition at NIU/DeKalb tomorrow.

Are there pictures of Jess's wedding? The toddler in Larry is always visible to me because his personality has been remarkably consistent. I just keep having to direct my gaze higher and higher to make eye contact.
