There are six people in my family, my mom, my dad, me, my two sisters and my brother.
My dad's name is Greg. He is a social worker. He just turned fifty. My mother's name is Colleen.
She's a teacher's aid, which means she helps teachers at the school. She's also fifty years old.
My, sister's name is Laurel. She studies at Notre Dame. She is in her third year of college.
Um... My other sister's name is Katie. She is eighteen years old. She really likes to run.
My brother, his name is Matthew. He just turned seventeen.
He also runs, but I don't think he likes it as much.
