According to Lydia, she "never gets tired" and fights bedtime every night.<br />- Rachel remains 32 (just ask the brainwashed kids) and spends her time shuttling the kids around, handling her church responsibilities, and dreaming of acting again. She loves movies, acting, travel, diet coke and Manhattan.<br />- Curt is older than he looks. He loves his job doing healthcare venture capital in NYC. He also enjoys wrestling with the kids, playing basketball (with the Catholics on Wednesdays and Mormons on Thursdays), golfing and traveling with Rachel around the world.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8721368742191392299-5403592016481920751?l=thelifelabelle.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Curthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17961538379116841992noreply@blogger.com0
