The Family

So you might be wondering about the name, Oldest of 11. Well, there is 11 children in my family. There is 9 younger natural siblings and 1 who was transplanted in by adoption. I love them all but some can get pretty annoying. 

One brother is 18, about a year and a half younger. Works hard, tall (6' 2"), lanky, blonde. We get along on somethings and fight on others. We share the same interest in trucks (Big and must be a diesel) and  how to customize them. 

A sister is 16, born 4 years later to the day after me. (Ok 3 year, 364 days and 12 hours or so behind me) Shorter but getting taller than me, dirty blonde, tough, sweet but has a vicious side if tempted. She keeps me inline very good. Dance very well and pretty close to my 15 year old brother in height, everything. They could almost be twins. It is scary how well they think alike.

Another brother is almost 15, the clown of the family. He is about 5'8", lanky, gonna be taller than me someday. He can make almost anybody laugh and he a great sense of humor. He can do the robot dance and imitate people very well. He will be a  good comedian one of these days.

Second sister is turning the big 13 this year. Emotional, wants to be considered grown up but yet still very much a kid. She loves to try and be a tomboy but gets hurt at the smallest of things.

The twins, both at 11 years of age. They are fraternal twins, meaning they do not look alike. In fact, nearly everyone thinks the blonde twin and my second sister are the twins. One is blonde, shy, soft-spoken. The other is brown haired,  slender, strong for her size, asks those questions that make you go hmmm. They cannot be separated.. the blonde is almost the exact opposite of other in some ways. They were born 3 days after my (and Sis) birthday.

Third bro is 9 years old. Blonde, slim, gonna be tall one of these days. He follows my mischievious second bro in the hospital visits. Mischeivious, rough house at any moment with me. He is a little worm! GRab him one way and he will find a way to slip out.

My fifth sister is 7. She has these really big eyes that might one day be useful if she ever learns how to use them. She is somewhat a drama queen. She tries to imitate Mom, the twins, and third bro in that order. Every day is different.

The youngest sis. 5 years and knows how to use that smile and eyes for her good. Spoiled cause she is the last of the girls and the last natural born. She is truly a miracle for being alive! One of these days I will tell you why.

And the youngest boy is the baby of the family and adopted. Another miracle baby. What started out as a babysitting job turned into a another person being added to the family. At 2years old, he is a rambunctious little brat. If you did not know he was adopted, you would have never guessed he was. He looks like us so much!

And from time to time you will hear of my three cousins kids. We are currently fostering them.

That gives you a small glimpse of my family.
