Here goes: I'm the second oldest of 9 (if you include my 2 step-siblings who's father never actually married my mother but they were together for years).
My mother is passed, but I'm close with my dad and step-dad, though I was never close with my mother.
My step-sister is 2 years older than me at 30 and lives in SW NY with her fiance and 4 sons.
My step-brother is a little over a year younger than me at 26 and living in VT with his girlfriend and new baby.
My 26 year old brother lives in central NY with his wife and step-daughter.
My 24 year old sister lives in central NY with her husband.
My nearly 22 year old brother lives in central NY with his girlfriend.
The twins (Ashley and Kevin-my half brother and sister) are turning 16 in a few weeks and live in VT with their father.
And, the baby, my half-brother is turning 15 in September and living in VT with his father and the twins.
Lol, we ARE a varied family. But, even though they aren't all as close with each other as we were when we were kids, I try to stay connected to all of them. It's just hard with all of our own families.
