Who's the Sister?

We have encountered a problem...more times than I can count. Apparently a typical family consists of a mom, dad, brother, sister and baby. Do you see the problem? This comes up in books, songs and art projects -- the kids want a connection. Before Roxwell it was easy. Brik was the baby, Layne the brother and the sister was always Elisa (Layne's friend who he believes he will marry one day). This worked well, Elisa is a nice girl. I wouldn't mind having her as a daughter or a daughter in law. Layne even talks about buying her a pink Porsche which isn't entirely unrealistic given his work ethic. Maybe they can have the generic family that has eluded us.

We now have Roxwell as the baby, Layne as the brother and Elisa is still the sister. I've put Brik in a dress before and he just can't pull it off. Don't worry, we'll still include him in real family portraits.

Hmmm...hadn't even thought about this--but If I keep having boys, this could be my future too: )
