Thanks for the wonderful feedback, flesco, and I hope I can continue living up to your expectations. Adding new family members gives me a chance to explore new scenarios, and as the boys grow older, including the original clan, they move away and start lives of their own. I give them cameo appearances from time to time, but I can't cover all of them extensively, and I'm getting older and don't know how much longer I'll be able to do this. Don't be surprised if this might be the last book, but then again I've said this before.
