Hello!
Last Tuesday, the April 28th, was my daughter birthday. Margarida is now two years old.
A few years ago my mother and my brother were my close family but now there are also my little daughter and my wife, not forgetting “enemies” family!
A first child transform a family. Sons became fathers, parents became grand-parents and brothers became uncles!
What about your family? Is it growing?

I’m the first one, this time!!! :)))
My closed family is my parents and my brother. Neither me nor my bother are married, so my family maintains the same number of persons, except if we count with my boyfriend and my girlfriend’s brother.
Of course I have a lot of uncles and cousins, and the last 18th April I won a cousin, not because he was born, but because my cousin Andreia was married; so Ricardo is now a official family member. In August, a new member will come because my cousin Carla is going married too.
I agree with André when he says that a real change in a family is when a baby comes!
Nice holiday!

No André, my family is not growing… my family is decreasing!
I haven’t grandparents and my husband hasn’t father too.
As I’m an only child and my brother-in-law is single, we haven’t children “at home”.
I wish I had children soon, but it will depends on a big thing - work stability!
See you,
Aldora
Hi everyone,
Directly from Malaysia, here I'am!!
I'm now at Redang Islands (You may see it on internet next class (lol) and its very nice.
Concerning the post, I'm an only child, my father passed away four years ago, I haven't grandparents, and I have no sons. My family is real very small but I've been aunt last February (my husband have a brother), so, in a certain way, my family is growing!!
Good by everyone! I'll keep in touch!!
Hi everyone (and a big hello to Rita over there on the other side of the world!). Yes, I'm from a small family too, which seems to be the European trend nowadays. My two brothers have both had children, 2 girls each so I have 4 nieces. I'm not a very good uncle though as I only see them once a year and I never remember their birthdays :( . The youngest ones probably don't remember me very much either. Apart from that side of the family my nearest relatives are my mother and my grandfather, now 89.
In some of my young learner classes at the British Council some of the kids have 12 or more brothers and sisters (very Catholic I beleive)! How do the parents find the time to give each of them enough attention?
See you on Monday and enjoy the rest of your holiday, Rita!
Well, I am also from a small family: me, my sister and my parents. But my family can be much bigger when all of us get together for the traditional family reunions. In that occasions there are 20 persons at table!
My father is an only child and both his parents have already died. However my mother has one sister and one brother and their mother – my grandmother – is still alive. She is 91 years old (!) and, as you can imagine, she is the oldest member of our family.
My grandmother has 3 grandsons and 4 granddaughters, therefore I have 5 cousins. The oldest 2 have both had children and so I can say that my family is already in its 4th generation. There are no doubts that the family is getting bigger and I am quite sure that it will grow up even more in the future.
See you on Monday.
