My new brother

Petra and Paul at their wedding

My new brother and I

Pet and Paul

My siblings!




I have always wanted a brother. Ever since I was about three or four I wanted to adopt a Chinese baby boy, or at least have my parents adopt him so I could have a little brother. Pet and I would sometimes sit and think what we would do if we had a little brother. I think we would have spoiled him totally with all that we planned to do. When our good friends Annie and Gigi got a little brother we spent so much time with them, that he was like a little brother to us. Sadly, they moved away, so we had to give up our "little brother".

Last weekend all that changed. My sister got married on Sunday to Paul. I think if I had to find my own brother, I would have chosen him. Good choice Pet, and thanks for finally giving me the brother that we've always wished for! :-) Welcome to the family Paul!

I liked having just girls, but change can be good and in this case it is. Having Paul around sure is nice! Good choice of a brother, Tee!

Brothers are a blessing from God. Having 4 of them myself I can say that!! Congrats on the added family!

From the amount of energy that Paul exudes in his twenties I can imagine that he was quite the handful as a little boy! I am glad that we get to benefit from all of Lyn and Tim's hard work. We love Paul with all of his enthusiasm, his infectious smile and that fabulous energy!

I have always wanted a sister, and was greatly disappointed when Barry and John turned out male. They're fine strong brothers, but I'm very happy to have a sister.
And not just any sister. Petra's my first choice for a wife, and you're my first choice for a sister. God has blessed.
Thanks for the welcome to your family!
Welcome to mine!
