Actor Dennis Quaid and his wife Kimberly are saying goodbye to Hollywood. No, Dennis is not retiring from acting, they have decided to move closer to family and friends. Dennis told Extra:

The train is going down the tracks.”

The couple are moving to Quaid’s hometown of Houston with their 7-month old twins, Thomas Boone and Zoe Grace.

We have a lot of family there and we have a really nice plot of land. We have 30 or 40 friends and family members within two miles of us. It’s kind of a no-brainer.”

The family suffered a near tragic ending for their twins last year when they were given 10,000 units of the blood thinner Heparin (the normal dose is 10 units). Dennis said:

They went through a medical catastrophe. Thank God it had a happy ending. We took them to the kiddie pool for their first swim today. They loved it.”

Kimberly and Dennis have been working hard to make sure that the nightmare they lived doesn’t happen to any other families. They have established a foundation and will be lobbying for a barcode procedure to minimize human error in the medical field.
