My 5 girls are doing great and so are the grandchildren, and my DH is working on another project.  I will post before and after pictures.  I am loving retirement <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":biggrin:" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /><br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />Five girls, Carmen, and this Carmen ended up with three sons&#33;  I quit then, realizing that it just wasn&#39;t<br />in the cards for me to buy cute little dresses.  Sometimes, over the years ( and even now that they are<br />adults ), the testosterone level in this house was overwhelming&#33;  Great sons that they are, none are yet married ( though one FINALLY has proposed ) and they have even bought a house and moved in<br />yesterday.  I was so thrilled when Laura asked if I would join her and her mother in shopping for a wedding gown next month - though the date hasn&#39;t been set yet&#33;
