I've had my 12 year-old sister's photo since the fall. She's in 6th grade and loves music. She sang "Baby" by Justin Bieber at karaoke and sang it really well! She's got such a great voice & can play piano & guitar & even plays percussion at school. She's also funny and pretty and has such a unique style.

Beyond the two of them, I have quite a few other siblings.
My step-brother Jeff & I don't talk much but have been getting along very well for years. He just got a new job at a fire department & is very excited about his opportunity.
Of course, this is where you're expecting a photo of him & I cannot for the life of me find any photos... Wait! Here's one!!

Amy is 23 and has been with her boyfriend for a few years now. She works hard and plays hard and helps the family a LOT. We don't always get along (including right now) but I love her and always will.

Dani is my step-sister and is 21 years old. She & her boyfriend have also been together for quite a few years and have been living together for at least the last year & a half or so (probably longer). She is extremely unique and gifted and while she struggles with her complicated past, is working very hard to make a great future for herself. She is a nanny and is working on running her own business and may be attending school sometime soon.

Daniel just turned 21 (see yesterday's post on my personal blog) and has a full-time job and a part-time job and is trying to finish school. He loves playing video games and hanging out doing nothing. With so many differences, I'm surprised when I find myself thinking about how alike we are.

Emily is a beautiful, funny, bright, fantastic young woman. She's 19 and working her way through community college right now. She's very mature and has a very promising future.

I've already talked about Kate & Rebecca who are the next in the age sequence. They live with my mother and are both doing VERY well in school!

I also have a few siblings that I don't see much (well, at all, really) that live with my father. Even though I don't spend time with them, I love them and am working with my father & step-mother to mend the past and have a future relationship for all of us. Amanda, Shannon and James are much younger than my other siblings and when I see them it brings a smile to my face. It's really cool to see how much you can love your siblings even when you don't even know them.

I hope you enjoyed this post! Share it with your friends and family and remember to tell your siblings that even when you're angry, you still love them. I need to do that too.
