Just thought you nice folks should be among the first to see him. :D

W00T!

Nice to finally know the name (don't think it was mentioned in the 'birth' thread was it?).

Such a cute shade of pink :D

Sweet little kid. Congrats on further grandfatherification!

LOL! Thanks.

I thought I had his name on that first post, but perhaps not. You know how us old folks get. ;)

Sweet little kid. Congrats on further grandfatherification!

Thank you. I hope that's the last for awhile. I'm beginning to feel like I'm making a bit too much of a contribution to the population explosion! Heh!

Hmm. Here I was with the old "Looks like Chuchill" line, and then I see the picture.. You know what? He doesn't look like Churchill at all. Foiled again. :mad:

Whew! Thank goodness! [ breathes a sigh of relief ] :D

Yay!! Congrats! :)

Yay!! Congrats! :)

Thank you. I'll pass that along to my Son and Daughter-in-law, who, after all, deserve most of the credit. :D

Whew! Thank goodness! [ breathes a sigh of relief ] :D

Though as Churchill once observed: "Madam, all babies look like me."

OTOH, I had a cousin that looked a little like Ike when he was a baby.

OMG! Did he ever take up golf or politics??? :D

I offer you as much congratulations as my drunk ass is physically capable of offering.

*She* grew up to be quite an attractive lady. And no, she doesn't play golf or politics.

Congrats on the new addition BTW. I wish him many long years of health and sucess.

Congratulations. He's adorable!

LOL! Well, knowing you a bit, that's sufficient! :D

Ooops! Heh! Sorry about that. You didn't specify. :eek:

Thank you for the congrats and especially for the well-wishes for the lil guy. Given the mess us "olders" are leaving him, he'll need every bit of it. Then again, I suspect almost every generation feels that way. I know my parents did.

LOL! Well, knowing you a bit, that's sufficient! :D

I would hope so, because when I'm drunk, I'm ruthlessly honest, so if I actually didn't like you, I'd be telling you right now. There's probably some kind of message in there somewhere about what I think about you, but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

Should have named him Corran, okay im a geek, also if anyone else knows what im talking about you are a geek too. :)

Um ... I'm not sure if I want to know either! Heh! :D

Hmm. Well, I did suggest Berners-Lee to my son, but ...! :D

lol
Yet I would have thought you would've pushed for "Forrest Lee"
how about "Foghorn Leg"

how about "Froghorn Leg"

Funny. Very funny. Ha! Ha! My body is wracked with hysterical laughter. :rolleyes:

EDIT: By the way, it was "FOGhorn Leghorn!" :D

Congrats grandpa!

Congrats grandpa!

Thank you, thank you. There's a donation box near the exit if you're so inclined. :D

:( Well I thought it was funny, Im way under appreciated here :(

Awww! I didn't mean to indicate it wasn't funny, Findecano. It's just that this is my grandson [ beams with pride ]. Guess I don't think he's old enough yet for the name jokes. Sorry! :)

I offer you as much congratulations as my drunk ass is physically capable of offering.
You're congratulating him with your drunk ass?
That's not very nice.
:D

Congrats on the new grandchild!
Let's hope he grows strong and healthy.

Awww... :D

Congrats. Hope he grows up and become a smart, strong and handsome kid.

Congrats again. How long till you can get him earning a wage? Because seven grandkids at minimum wage == better home for grandpa :D

Thank you! He will ... "Poppas" have this sixth sense about that sort of thing. :D

Nope. As a matter of fact, he's one of the seven ( so far! ) reasons I have one last goal in my life: to get rich ( or at least modestly wealthy )! "Poppas" do that sort of thing you see. :D

I'm going to go see Caleb and his brother Jonathan around noon today! Yayyyy!

Um ... tell me it doesn't show that I'm nutzoid over my grandchildren. Heh! :D

It doesn't show.
But on a sliiightly more serious note, 'tis looking like a grand bairn. Certainly a pirate in the future there.

LOL! Well, I have just slightly higher hopes for him, but if he chooses to be a "pirate," then I hope he's the best damned pirate ever to hoist a skull-n-crossbones and I'll do my damndest to help him do it if I'm still around. :D

Thank you so much, Jordaxia! :)

Congratulations!
