My Family at Easter.

I have a wonderful family. I have an older brother and sister whom I adore (and they adore me...or at least they don't ditch me any more!)  and I’d like my children to know the joy of having siblings, too. My sister lives a few blocks from me and is my best friend. My brother and his family live in San Diego but we get together often. I can’t imagine having a greater fan than my mother; she's always been there for me. I've always known that I could turn to my father for anything and I greatly respect him for his accomplishments.

My family takes great pleasure in being together. We giggle, laugh, tease, ... We pretty much hang and have fun.

My sister has two daughters that have both recently married. My brother also has two daughters who are both in college. One set of girls is adopted with different birth parents. Can you guess which two?
