They say that starting a family

is an act of optimism.

Well, Tom and I were clearly

very, very, very optimistic.

There are always good times

and difficult ones along the way.

And with 12 kids, you learn a lot of lessons.

But the one that you never get used to is that

moment when you look your child in the eye

and find yourselfhaving to say

the most difficult word of all; goodbye.

All right, stay together.

# Tryin' your best to bring

the water to your eyes

# Thinkin' it might stop her

woopin' your behind

There she is.

Sergio Archer.

Look, she's right there.

Robert Armstrong.

Peter Bailey.

Lorraine Baker.

Whoo!

Yay, Lorraine!

Yeah!

- He's reallygotten good.

- Yeah.

Oh, my gosh. Kicking, kicking.

All right, all right.

It is time to toast the graduate.

Lorraine,

we are all so proud of you,

for keeping your chin up

and charging the mountain.

And for being a truly unique

and wonderful person.

And for getting that internship at Allure

magazine. Did you know about that?

Even though I'll be trying to convince you

staying here is a betterchoice for your future

than moving to dirty, expensive, crime-ridden

New York City, but here's to Lorraine.

OK. My daughter Nora and her husband Bud,

you wanna say something?

And our future linebacker.

We go. Let's go.

First of all, congratulations, Lorraine.

Bud and I hope that our baby

will be as cool and accomplished as you.

And second of all... I don't mean

to make this toast all about Bud and l,

- but we have some kind of big news.

- You know about this?

I've just been offered the vice-presidency

of a new advertising firm.

Hey! Congratulations. Yeah!

- In Houston.

- Oh.

We're moving in September. Thank you.

Great. Oh, wow.

- Does this mean we won't be uncles?

- You'll be uncles no matterwhere we live.

Maybe they thought

it was the best way to break it to us.

- Quite a surprise.

- I'll say. Can I get a beer and a white wine?

- Hey, you guys.

- Hey.

- I feel like I'm losing two daughters now.

- You're not losing us.

I hope you have help, cos with no family

there and you being a first-time mom...

- You'll be at work all day...

- I'm not gonna be at work all the time.

We're gonna be fine. And whatever house

we get is gonna have a room reserved for you.

At least you're gonna stay

for the touchfootball game.

- We can't. We have Lamaze.

- This will help your breathing.

- We're gonna see you soon.

- OK.

- You're driving, right?

- Mm-hm.

- See you.

- Bye, sweetheart. There you go, sir.

That's...

They seem so casual and cavalier.

Well, time for me to get my hands dirty.

You're working? What about the game?

Rematch against the cousins.

I've got studentloans to pay off, Dad.
