Congratulations to you and the Missus. It sure looks like you got a keeper there. You had better enjoy the peace and quiet while you can. Before you know it, they will both be begging for the car keys and you won't get any Zzz [zzz] until they are both home safe and sound.  Smile,Wink, & Grin [swg]

As one who raised two daughters - one is just past her 46th Birthday and the other is approaching her 49th - let me say that there are a lot of gray hairs in your future.

But there isn't enough money in the world to get me to trade all the experiences I had with my daughters - and continue to have for that matter.

The Anderson's of Phoenix, Ariz extend to you and yours a hearty congratulations on this blessed event and pray that God will keep her in his covenant in the days ahead!!!

I encountered an RMC cartoon the other day while thumbing through some early 1960s era magazines. The model rail is working at his workbench while his other half is wheeling a baby crib through the room. "Would you like," she asks, "to see the 0-4-0 wheel arrangement this room is going to be remodeled around?"

Sign - Welcome [#welcome] and Happy B-Day [bday] to the little one!!  And congratulations to the proud parents.

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi were discussing the beginning of life.  The priest said it begins at the moment of conception.  The minister says it begins at birth.  The rabbi says NO, it begins when they finish college and MOVE OUT!!Laugh [(-D]

Again, congratulations!!Smile [:)]

The nice thing about that particular model is that you don't need to weather them.  They are self weathering.  Chocolate pudding seems to be the favorite medium.

Do not let this poster fool you. As a proud owner of two of those models I can assure you. Any chocolate pudding at this early stage is NOT, I repeat, NOT chocolate pudding. Big Smile [:D]

 

My daughter at the age of one and half perhaps found out  that the hard way. Big Smile [:D]

Do not make that mistake!
