dark eyed/skinned child - 2 blue eyed light skin/hair parents???

November 14th, 2009

My husband Tom has black hair, dark brown eyes, and olive skin - he can get blackish brown when he gets tanned. His parents (or supposed parents) both have blue eyes - his dad Edward had white blonde hair as a child and his mom Mary had dirty blonde hair. Is this possible?? (I changed a couple of names to protect myself!)
