Congatulations!! Children are what it is all about. My oldest is 16 now and it seems like only yesterday that he was wobbling around the living room in a diaper. My youngest is now four and he is "his fathers son"! Me all over again. Always remember, they are what we make them, so make the best.  On a lighter note, children are so honest and do not even realize it. In our early years together I used to give my wife a hard time, jokingly of course, about stinking up the bathroom. We had good fun with this for a while. Well my oldest boy was about 3 when I came home from work one day. He came running into the living room where i had just opened my afternoon beer. He was EXCITED, looking over his shoulder saying" Dad, dad, dad" I asked him what he was all worked up about. He looks over his shoulder again as if someone was after him and tells me " I know why mom stinks the bathroom up so bad" I said "really, why is that bubba?" He looks over his shoulder one last time and turns to me with a look in his eyes like he has discovered the missing link and states, without missing a beat " She has TWO butts!" Turns out mama left the bathroom door unlocked and he walked in on her as she was getting out of the shower, saw somthing he had not seen before, and without saying a word to her, turned around and went to his room to try to think that one through. It took awhile to get him lined out on that subject, but it worked out alright. So anyways, again, congrats, the fun will soon begin. Cherish every moment because time truly does fly when you are having fun.

Congratulations!.. Daddy will have his own welding company complete with family employees.

Regards,
Gerald

Hello Tommy, congratulations are certainly in order and deserved. I know that you are already aware of the joys of children so another one just simply means a wide open stream of new possibilities. Tommy, one of our four were planned for us...... Wouldn't change it for the world though. The last one that we had was at a time when my wife's OB was a personal friend, he arranged it so that I could deliver my last son, of course he was right there over my shoulder ready to kick me out of the way if anything went south. You enjoy all of the things leading up to and following this event...... I'll just keep my eye out for that little "Tommyjoking", I know we'll all get to know something about this new little person in the future. Best regards, Allan

Congratulations,
I was just talking to the wife today, about my dad calling me from a block down the road to change the tv channel, and stand there changing it till he found a show he wanted to watch.and how if we backtalked a belt would be in order, and then again about how spoiled the kids today are and I told her our generation  got screwed by our parents, and now by our kids. call it the generation "F".
I am glad mine are grown up but miss the children they once were. cherish what you have while you have it! and good luck!

Congrats, Tommy.

Congrats, I have one due in october. I'll be 36

Congrates tommy, even when unexpected kids are a joy. Just remember though that if you insist on putting in those orders, sooner are later you will have to take delivery. ( at least thats what the old man told me.)
