Why Not Change It Up?

While writing my last post, I became inspired to write on a new topic! I thought of this when writing the portion about my brother and how it was so easy to write about him. I have now decided to write about my family because there is so much to say about having such a big family. I know this decision has probably devastated some of you. But have no fear, I will keep the playlist on here for all you country music lovers!

Some of you may or may not know that I have a huge family. I am one of six children. I have an older brother, John Woodward, who is 20 and attends Virginia Tech. Then it is me and I am the second oldest. My younger sister, Jill Woodward, is 15 and she goes to Bird with me. Then next after her is Jeff Woodward who is 13 and attends Salem Church Middle School. After Jeff is Joy Woodward who is 10 and attends Bellwood Elementary. Finally, is Jan Woodward who is five and also attends Bellwood. Oh and we can't forget about the lovely people that brought my siblings and I into this world, my parents, Kathy and David Woodward.


Big families always seem to get a lot of attention. If it is not the staring then we get a lot of questions and comments. Some of them are not very intelligent. For instance, one person asked me "Are you guys really siblings"?  I did not know how to answer that question without sounding mean because from the picture above, I think that it answers itself? Oh and how can I forget about the infamous comment that everybody likes to make. When I tell people how many siblings I have they just love to say "Well we know what your parents were doing". Are you kidding me? I REALLY do not want to hear that nor have that mental image forever burned in my memory! Thanks, but those comments can really be kept to yourself. Lastly, throughout the rest of my blogs, I hope to show the pros and cons of having a huge family. Hopefully, along the way I will be able to provide some comic relief with my stories too!

  1. I love your family and I think it would be really cool to have a lot of siblings even though I know we would get on each others nerves all the time.
