We have raised a couple of kids. One of mine one of hers, although the truth is mine was mostly grown before we got together, we now have four grandkids. My son's we used to take out and do a lot with them, and then return them home. I always said, "The nice thing about grand kids is you can take them out fill them with sugar and take them back."

Our latest one lives with us with his mom. She works a fair bit of shift work and so we find ourselve raising an other one. In many ways it is easier, focus has changed, but if we fill him with sugar we can't give him back, so we don't.

So both of our's (kids) where gone, one plus one is back. Life is good, but priorites are what they are, climber in the back yard superceeded some sound equipment, but the truth is, the climber has injected fun for us, for Aden and for the kids in the houses near by.
