Family

Tell us about your family. How many brothers and sisters do you have? What are their names? What number are you in the family?

The Minica family has 9 children, of which I am the oldest at 15. Our parents are Nelson and Brenda. My siblings are Courtney, 13; Brianna, 11; Philip, 9; Zachary, 6 1/2; Summer, 4 1/2; Melody, 3; Harmony, 1 1/2; and Taylor, our extra-special 7-week old boy who has Down Syndrome. We are a musically-inclined homeschooling family who absolutely loves the Bible Bee!

My family has 7 children…I am the middle child (number 4) at age 14. My parents are Dan and Heather and my siblings are: Daniel, 21; Amy, 19; Bethany, 17; David, 11; Ellia, 6; Faith, 3. We are homeschooled and really enjoy the Bible Bee.

So I noticed that your family's names (except Daniel) all begin with a successive letter of the alphabet… was that intentional??

My dad's name is Daniel and so my brother Daniel is a junior. And so there were three of us, Daniel, Amy, and Bethany. My parents realized that and they decided to name their next child (me) a C. Their 2nd boys name was always going to be David and he came at just the right time and so they intentionally named their next child with an E…ellia. When Faith was coming they couldn't decide if we should keep it going or not so we asked our church and they said we should keep it going. Hope that makes sense.

Interesting…

The O'Connor family consists of 5 people, of which I am the oldest at 11 1/2. My parents are Susan and Mike. My siblings are Cassandra, 9; and Sean, 5. We are homeschoolers who love to play games. ;-)

We are the Alexander family! :D My family is a pretty big one–we've got ten now, and another on the way. :) There's my mom and dad of course (Wretched Man and Beloved Wretched Woman on Memverse), then there's Christian (ChiefOfSinners), who is 16, me, Nicolas (SavedByGrace, obviously), who is 14 (almost fifteen!), Rosie (God's Maiden of Virtue), who is 13, Royal (Wretched Son #3), 11, Titus (Wretched Son #4), 8, Ethan, 7, Peter, 3, and Jude, 1. We're expecting the next addition on December 1. We're all homeschooled and always have been, we go to Heritage Reformed Baptist Church, and we participate in the Bible Bee.

The Strang family consists of, Shiloh 21, Bethany 19, Jordan 17, Me 14, Judah 6, Havilah 6, Benjamin 4, and my wonderful parents who have been married for 31 1/2 years! We are all homeschooled and love the LORD, music, dancing and Bible Bee! (And more…of course!)

My family consists of my mom and dad, my little brother (13), me (duh! :) lol), my older brother (20), and my oldest brother (23).

Wait…Bethany just told me Judah and Havilah were 5…I thought. :P

My family consists of Erin 34, Yvonne 27, Ian 25, me ( Elanee) 20, Evan 17 & my two wonderful parents who have been married for 34 1/2 years:) My two oldest brothers are married, and in the military. I also have two nieces and a nephew!!!

Our family really enjoys spending time with friends, the Bible Bee, traveling, talking, music, and anything involving people:)

@All: We are sending out a family letter and picture right now. If you would like to receive one and you have my email address, you can send it to me and we will put you on the list!

I'm the youngest of seven kids. Eight if you count my brother that died the day he was born. All eight of us kids were born in ten years, so we're all pretty close. My oldest sister is married to a pastor, and they have two little girls. My oldest brother is married and has four little boys, the oldest one is only four. The rest of us kids, are working on our family farm. I'm sixteen. Our names are, Naomi, Amos, Isaac, Miriam, Hosanna, Silas, and Priscilla, (me)

Wow! :) that's a big family! :) lol

My family consists of the best parents in the world ( =D ) and (almost!) 7 children: me, Brother, brother, brother, sister, brother, and brother on the way :) My Grandmother lives with us, and We have one cat.

We enjoy music, participating in the Bible Bee, taking trips, and more.

Do you consider your cat part of your family? :P

If anyone would say something like that, It'd be you ;-) In a way, yes, we do. And in another way, no. :)

I have a 1-year-old sister with Down Syndrome. I just told Mom that your family has a child with Down Syndrome, and she's looking forward to meeting your mom at Nationals.
Do you guys have a blog? My mom just asked me if you guys did. We have a blog and here is the link: http://www.pathsofwrighteousness.wordpress.com

My family has 6 children.
Nathan (OCTSRIS), 15, Caleb (ISC), 13, Me, (MH), 9, Joseph (I think his username is a big scary t-rex but I could be wrong), 7, Elisabeth, 5, and our sweet 1-year-old baby sister Moriah who has Down Syndrome.
We homeschool and we LOVE the Bible Bee!

My family must be the smallest one on here… :D I'm the oldest, 15 years old, and my only other sibling is Landon who is 13. He is also about an inch taller than me. :P I also have three "adopted" little brothers - Joshua is 3, and Matthew and Johnathan are 2 1/2 month old twins.

Hey, Priscilla, how old is Silas?

What do you mean when you say "adopted" like that? (In parentheses?)
EDIT: duh, not parentheses, quotation marks :P facepalm

I figured someone would ask! :) Their family and ours are really close and we see them at LEAST once each week. The three-year-old thinks I am his older sister. I'm fine with that! :D

Fun! :)

How old is Silas? Ummm? let me think. His birthday is in July sooooo………. He must be 19 now. (I think)

That's what I thought. :) I remembered that he did Bible Bee last year but Rachel said you were the only Krahn doing it this year. :)

Family…

Reviving thread, or mocking title? :P

Sorry, I know you probably had something in mind when you wrote that, but that post merely reminded me of a tobyMac song. =P

Lol…which? xP

S: for sure not mocking the title….I love my family to pieces. XD

Tonight/City on our Knees; I never could get straight which was the title and which was the subtitle. I thought you didn't like tobyMac though? ;P

I don't listen to their music, no. xP x)

His music. ;P

_Tonight/City on our Knees_; I never could get straight which was the title and which was the subtitle. I thought you didn't like tobyMac though? ;P

You could right a parody to Matthew West's song: Forgiveness - about the family. :D

Okay, okay….His. xP See? xD

Wow… That's kinda bad… ;P

That combination of entries confuses me a bit.

What I mean is, are you calling your family "unloveable?"

What I mean is, are you calling your family "unloveable?"

Umm…. No. Why?

What did you mean then about the song Forgiveness? Now I'm confused…

What did you mean then about the song _Forgiveness_? Now I'm confused...

Changing the phrases he uses also not just switching out "forgiveness" for "family".

Hmm. Okay. :P

Hmm. Okay. :P

I never said it was a great idea. Though it was one of the brighter thoughts from my brain of this evening. :P

Lol.

Lol, a couple weeks ago, at our church's annual school picnic, I was eating supper with some friends and told them "I had a great idea"…then a dad walked by right as I said that and, overhearing me, commented: "oh good, I like great ideas." xP Then I felt obligated to tell him my "great idea", Hah. It wasn't that great. xP
