The amount of photos was a request by my sister.

Okay, so there is definitely that "I've gotta love you because you're family" thing going on, but to be honest, I really do like them. Go figure. Years of sibling torture and emotional scaring, that will probably never go away, thank you very much, they are some of my closest friends. Being the unattached, 29-year old sister, I've been in a position to bounce around and spend a lot of one-on-one time with my siblings and their family's and form a special relationship with my nieces & nephews. It has been so good for me. Something I am insanely grateful for. I love my family. Even if I think half of us are crazy.
A couple Sunday's ago we got together at the park before my sister and her family moved out of state (traitor!). Only three siblings were missing, which are pretty good numbers considering how many of us there are.
The traitor herself.
What an unruly bunch of human beings.

So, while one sibling moved away, another just came home. My younger brother and his family just moved back after being in Connecticut all summer. Love having them home.
Obedience school... JK
They brought home two turtles from NYC. I didn't want them anywhere near my flesh, but dang, from a distance, they are cute little critters. This one has the cutest little turtle head (click on photo)...



Now to my siblings... stop moving on me and stay put for just a minute, ya' big jerks!
