Sorta Siblings

My brother is visiting from Louisiana.
My sisters, he, and I all met for dinner last night.
Here's the crew and what follows is how we are connected:



From top left (clockwise) is me, Jef, RayAnn, Valerie, & Nikki.

Jeff, Nikki, and Valerie all share the same mom & dad with each other.

RayAnn shares the same mom as those three, but has a different dad.

I share the same dad with those three, but have a different mom.

In other words; Jef, Valerie, and Nikki are full siblings to each other.
I am their half sibling by connection of our dad.

RayAnn is their half sibling by connection of their mom.

RayAnn and I are not related at all. But we've claimed each other as "sister" through the years when referring to each other...and as far as the rest, we usually all leave the "half" out of "half-sibling".

My family puts the "FUN" in "dysFUNction"! It works. :)

Glad for the family happiness. Looks like a great group. Any other firearms enthusiasts?

On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the most interested in firearms), I'd have to say;
Jef=10,
RayAnn=3,
Valerie=3,
Nikki=6.
