you should see them in their matching sweatshirts - the ones with "parents of" and all the "kids" names on the front- and on the back "grandparents of" and all the grandkids names - colour coded to the parents name. It wasn't easy fitting all the names on the sweatshirts! (I am one of nine siblings) But they like them because they are great ice-breeakers when they are meeting new people. (Not that either of them has ever really had a problem with that.)

Last summer Mom was bewailing the fact that her "baby" is over 35. (and a good thing, too, since his older daughter is going to be a HS senior this year!)

And that as of july he will be the only one of her children still under 40.
