I'm 28 and the middle child so right there is was terrible

. Just kidding. I have an older sister that just turned 30 and having #4 in a matter of weeks and I have a younger brother that is 25. My parents are still together and live around the corner from us. I am close to my parents, more my mom, but we don't see them much. My dad is a pastor of a local church and they are very busy with that and work. I had a good childhood. Honestly, I kind of like staying in my room by myself a lot. I'm not sure why. We didn't have many kids in the neighborhood and most of them were boys. The girls perfered to play with my sister and I got tired of crying and fighting to be excepted by my big sister. We did start becoming best friends when my sister was a junior in high school. We have ended up having three of our kid at the same time, so far she has the boys.

I was very close to my dad's parents. They lived in town and I would spend the night a lot. I loved it when my grandma called and invited us over. She would ride the bus over and we would ride back with her. My brother used to eat a lb of bacon when he went over and my sister would eat a 1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream. I don't remember doing either. My grampa passed away when I was about 8. That was my first experience with death and boy was that hard. My grandma is the one who taught me how to bake and I loved it because of her. Her and I used to make lemon merigue pie almost every time I went over. I named Madeline after her because I wanted to remember her. She ended up passing away literally right around the time we concieved Meike, almost 5 years ago.

My mom's mom lived in Maine so we only saw her once a year maybe twice when we were younger. She lived way up north in East Millinocket with my mom's step-dad. Her dad passed away when she was 10. It would take us two day and 17 hours to get there and then there was nothing to do there. I used to hate Maine until they moved to Portland because of health reasons. I loved it near the coast. The last time we went to visit was 4 days after my other grandma passed away. My mom's mom passed away last January. I have no more grandparents but my girls have two great sets of grandparents that I hope they will continue to have a great relationship with for years to come.
