Jay and Kateri Schwandt were high school sweethearts. They
were attending college in Michigan when their first child, Tyler was born.
Tyler had two brothers before mom and dad graduated. Tyler’s 25 now, and he has
thirteen siblings: all boys. The youngest, Finley Sheboygan Schwandt, was born
in April. His middle name comes from a story his grandpa used to tell, about an
Indian chief with many sons. The chief wanted a baby girl, so when a boy was
born he named him Sheboygan, as in “she’s a boy again.” Finley’s mom says, “He's
got a lot of brothers standing behind him, so if anybody wants to make fun of
his name, they can try.” Jay and Kateri will be in their sixties when Finley is
dating and learning to drive. They may find parenting a teen a bit harder than
it was a decade ago. But Finley has plenty of big brothers to lend a hand.
