I have 2 parents, 2 sisters, 2 parents in laws, two grandparents in laws, 2 dauthers, 1 son, 1 husband, 3 nieces, 2 brother in laws, and 1 sister in law. My father in law came from a large family and most of his siblings are still in our county along with their children. I think I'm related to half of Madison County, Ohio!

I hope my children live that close to me once their out on their own. And sometimes when they're being ornery, I wish they did now!

Dad is 84, Mom passes away 14yrs ago.
Two older sisters, one I'm very close to, the other...not so much.
One older brother, 62, not on speaking terms
One younger brother, we use to be close, but life changes everybody.
One absolutely wonderful husband, 2 children (23 & 28) 1 SIL. Three stepchildren, 25, 22 & 20
All the kids get along great. With this bunch we call them our personal entertainment system. (when they're all home)

I am the oldest of 6. I'm almost 46, my sister is 44, three brothers- 42, 39 and 35.

My parents are 69 and 71, and I have one daughter (25). My sister has 2 babies- 3 and 4. And my middle brother has one daughter 11.

My DH has 5 sons, ranging from 40 to 26, one 21 yo granddaughter and 2 little ones- 4 and 1.

My father in law is 96 and was the best man at our wedding last September. His sister (only 94) was the maid of honor.

You remember the Beatles song "When I'm 64"? I'll be 64 in August. Only only sister still with me. Have 3 kids, 33, 31, & 21. Having a baby at 43 kept me young!
