...or heard from DirtyCoconuts lately? I haven't seen a post from him in quite awhile?

MODS: if this is in the wrong place or inappropriate let me know and do with it as you see fit.

How nice of you to think of him. I'll be sure to let him know.

Yeah, he's doing just fine. Has a new job, plus his youngest is becoming mobile now. Other daughter is old enough now to be getting into extracurricular activities.

Life raising kids... something's gotta give!

Funny how I didn't think of that. My youngest has a 14 yr old of her own, along with three more. Ive been out of the kid raising business for a lotta years. Is he checking the board? I can send him a PM to say hello.

Same here Dusty.

Our son and his wife have been wanting to do a bike trip through Napa so we volunteered to take their kids (6 and 4) for 10 days so they could have a get-away.
The kids were terrific but they kept us hopping. I think we both slept for 2 days straight when they went home.

Raising youngins is definitely for people in their prime.

Dusty, he's off on a family vacay at the moment. But said he'll be in touch when he returns. I'm sure a PM would not be out of bounds either, if you want.

Keys... I have 5 & 8 year old grandkids. After watching them for a few days now and then, it really makes me wonder how I ever had the stamina to do it year after year full time with my own. A prime time job, indeed.
