Ooh, I like the pared-down way you made your list with the whole family at the end. I'll have to try doing it that way to save some time! p.s. I like Orion for a dog, nice choice. (lots of other choices and combos are nice, too, of course but that one's got to be my favorite) ;)

Both have remarried: Reid to a nurse he knew from a hospital he delivers patients to on the job, and Leonie to a travel agent she met when her friends took her for a rare night out. The children live with Leonie, and Reid visits and takes them to stay with him when his work schedule allows.
