Somethings are much easier than they seem. We settled in as a family quickly, although that wasn't what I expected based on their three different personalities. Gee - reserved, Pen - very outgoing, Mary - all organized, and me - holy shit!

I think part of it was that siblings don't get to choose each other. Mary and I, as twins, had always been close, the best of friends, in addition to being siblings. Of course, our being in love with each other didn't hurt. We chose Pen and Gee as siblings, so big difference. Any major incompatibility would have been dealt with years ago.

All of Gee's and Pen's...
