Now I Get To Brag!!

[Golfgar4]

Just wanted all my TBN friends to know that my first grandchild was born today! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Teagan was born in Allentown, PA. at 6:11 a.m. (est). She weighed in at 7 lbs. 11 oz. and was 22" long. Mother, father and baby are all doing fine. My son mentioned that she was a beautiful little girl, and that wasn't just because she was his (yeah, right! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif). He also mentioned that she had my hair. I didn't realize that babies could be born with grey hair! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif Do you think that's what he meant??

Tom has to leave for his next duty assignment in Fallon, Nevada on the 21st, but his wife and the baby won't go out there until March 6th (we think). If it all works out the way we're planning, we'll be leaving to go out there on the 6th with the planned arrival on or about the 9th. Then we'd be able to spend about a week before we have to head back home.

I can't remember being this excited about something for a long time! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Congrats on the new addition to the family. I see you said the mother, father and baby are fine; but how is grandpa doing? I be the grin must be from ear to ear. Where's the pictures???

Thanks Steve! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Yeah, it's pretty hard talking to people with such a huge smile on my face! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Grandpa's doing just great!

I can recall not that many years ago thinking that I was too young to be a grandfather. But as time wore on, I found myself looking forward to it more and more. I guess maybe it's just a natural progression as a person gets older, because I certainly didn't consciously think about it. It just seemed to happen.

I'm not sure exactly how long it will be before we get any pictures. My son did mention that he did get some video when they took Teagan to weigh her and then on down to the nursery. But he didn't mention if he got any digital pictures. He'll be calling me back during my lunch hour because he needs some adresses and phone numbers of people he wants to contact. I'll be asking him then about pictures. If he didn't get any yet, I'll have his father-in-law get some for us and then he can e-mail them to me. If they can take a few minutes out of fussing over the baby, maybe they'll send me some tonight so I can get some posted. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I remember when my little girl was born which was the first grandchild on my side of the family. I didn't think anyone could have been more thrilled than me, but to see the smile on my dad's face was priceless (especially after raising 4 boys). My little girl is spoiled rotten and it is quite clear that she is pappy's girl. Of course I know that you wouldn't dream of spoiling your grand daughter would you???

Garry, congratulations on the new grand child. To help you out I have posted a picture of a baby. Most babies look very similar, so I think this should give you the general idea /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Congratulations Garry,
Kids are one of the very best things in life. They are defiantly one of the things that makes it worth living.

Congratulations on your new grandchild! When she gets about two years old the fun really begins! I am currently looking for a small drum set for my granddaughter. Her mom (whom I love dearly) was quite a pill, so its payback time /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif!

Everyone else is offering their congratulations, so I guess I'll just offer my sympathy. That granddaughter is quite likely to cut into your golfing time. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Speaking of drums, my wife's parents got my 1 year old boy one for Christmas. It's just the playset type. He has beat on those drums so much and his big sis helps him quite a bit that when I get home from work and want to watch TV, I go straight to the bedroom to hear!!!!!! It will definitely be a payback by getting the drum set. I couldn't take it anymore so the drum set is currently hid taking a well deserved break!!!! /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Contrats Gary. Be careful with all the euphoria. You need to be somewhere safe. Go straight to a nice tractor dealership and just buy one or two. Do It! Blame it on the baby...

Jerry, did you relly mean that kids are defiant??
