[QUOTE="Shari, post: 156794, member: 1848"] What a neat idea! I love it. We get so caught up in things difficult child that its easy to forget you guys have other kids and lives! lol *** My easy child 1 is still working for the county, which is a good job. He recently applied for a job with the state, so he's hoping to get that (conservation department - right up his alley (think 'coons, here...). His bottle baby (think 'coons again) is doing well and terrorizing our home nightly. But he does make us laugh. He is engaged to his girlfriend of4 years, now, I guess, but no wedding date is set.
