Frank and I are looking into moving to that new condo that went up next door

Do you mind if we stop calling this a "starter house" now?

"Thanks! Carl put his heart and soul into it, along with, of course, lots of mud and a boatload of his own saliva."

"Consider yourself lucky that you only got a little shaken up in that dryer--socks get lost in that thing and aren't ever seen again.'

"Yes, go and play, but be careful, there are a few thermals around: make sure you're not lifted too high..."

They've been inseparable since the avalanche.

Moving in

Bird collecting furniture for it's home.

'Oh dear, what a shame - It's raining again, Pam!'

"I'm so sorry that I screamed...I had a terrible dream: the kids had to leave college and live with us again...Oh, Ed, it was horrible!"

"Well yes, technically, I've only had three kids of my own, but I've raised two cuckoo chicks as well..."

Empty Nester Apple Picking - "Not THAT one, you idiot!"

"Well that's the last of our offspring gone - let battle commence."

"You don't understand, Mom. Our staying in and watching TV is not the same as you and Dad staying home and watching TV in Dayton, Ohio."

Bird at desk has eggs in-tray and hatched eggs out-tray.

"That could've been ours. But noooo...You and your DIY."

'Now that you have a job, Tom, Dad and I are turning your room into a condo!'

Nest building

'Are you here, Alfred?'

"Tia Carmen, is this our house or is it our home?"

'Well! Another near miss! Remind me not to listen to you next time you say it's okay to move in downstairs from a young family and that's not the reason the place was so cheap!'

"I, too, like being festive, but since we live in a nest, space is a factor."

Sixty is the new fifty mostly because all the money we saved in the last decade is gone.

'Looks like they decided not to go south this winter.'

'Remember the good old days when he wasn't allowed on the furniture?'

"Uh oh. It's the kids...and they're flying back!"

"After the kids moved out I turned their space into a guest room."

'I know that we once made a list of all the things we'd do when the kids left home but I can't remember one of them!'

"Either we've been robbed or the kids left without saying goodbye."

"I'm sorry your son Billy ran away, but there's not much we can do being that he's thirty-four."

'Of course me and Lottie never got around to having kids'

'This is where I'm thinking of putting my husband.'
