My family!!

I am sitting at Ashley's house. She is cooking an amazing meal!! Ashley and I are like sisters.

Ok I am so sorry I have not told you about my family. I have two brothers. Mark is 13 years old. He is the youngest in the family. Anthony is 15. He is the second oldest. I am the oldest child in my family. My dad's name is Vernon. My mom's name is Vicky. She is in the pictures with Ashley and me. There is a picture of my mom and Alex. They look a lot a like. Alex looks more like my mom than any of her biological children. It is amazing how a boy from a different country looks so much like my mom.

Alex is 12 years old. He is so tall. He is taller than both my parents. He is always laughing and smiling. He is always joking around. My family is not serious at all. He will fit right in. While we were in Ukraine he was always picking on me like my brothers do. He would pull my pony tail holder out of my hair. We were playing a card game and he would be looking at my cards. We played go fish and he would not give me the card I asked for. We played Old Maid and I had to pick a card out of his hand and he would not let me pick a card. He would pull it back or he would hold it tight so I could not get it. He was our translator at Lela's house with the other boys there. In a letter my mom said that if he would learn English than we would learn Russian. He knew more English than we thought he would. He knew more than the other boys that stayed with us.

Alex sounds like he'll be a fun brother to have around. Are you ready to have THREE little brothers (even if one of them is very tall)? :-) Thanks for telling us about your family.
