Life is constantly changing so we have to adapt!!!
 
Throughout life there are always unexpected curve balls.
I have had my share!!

I recently got the news of another curve ball that will probably take some slight adjusting of our lifestyle. I want to be prepared but not over prepare or do anything too drastic.

I think this is a good, responsible start!!!

LubeJobs42 05-09-2012 11:43 PM

Thank you!
That's all i'm posting. One of my buddies put it on my car. I thought it was pretty funny.

I always told myself if the day ever came, i would not be one of those people that lose their minds when they have a kid and become so obsessed that's all they talk about.

At least for now, I'm done!! :)

rfgonzo 05-09-2012 11:48 PM

Gino, I always told myself the same thing.....I now have two beautiful little girls, a 4 year old and a 1 year old....... My world does tend to revolve around them and I am sure yours will too, BUT that hasn't stopped me one bit from doing the things I love........the boat, cars, and fun have all stayed, and aren't going anywhere. I can't tell you how many have told me that I should trade in for a cruiser, something more family friendly.......I just laugh........ Even though I talk about my kids quite a bit ,my boat still comes up more often then not, my wife will still tell you that it's all I talk about......... I will admit though that my boating habits have changed a bit when the kids are with us.....we do a lot more hanging out and swimming then we use to but on the days we go out by ourselves or with friends it's all about burning some gas.......Congrats on the news and good luck !!!!! It's the best of both world's !!!!

Plowtownmissile 05-10-2012 04:27 AM

Congrats Gino! Having a kid is by far the best thing that anyone can have happen to them.

boatme 05-10-2012 05:01 AM

Gino,

My son Heath is the best thing that ever happened in my life
He was a pain in the butt growing up but is an amazing young man. I know you have had some business dealing with him and you know what i am talking about (he is 29 years old now) Enjoy the journey
congratulations

Dean Ferry 05-10-2012 05:21 AM

Gino,
Congrats, it will the best thing that has ever happen to you two. I don't know what our lives would be like without our 2 kids, very empty comes to mind. Going tonight to our youngst girl's piano recital , and she is a musical whizz!
Once again congrats.
Dean

sonicss42 05-10-2012 06:49 AM

Congrats, my son was born on my birthday 29 yrs ago and while I can't remember what I ate for breakfast yesterday I recall that day in vivid detail. It's gonna be great.

rchevelle71 05-10-2012 07:06 AM

Congrats Gino!!

akaboatman 05-10-2012 07:37 AM

You will spend the first 2 years. Teaching your Baby to talk an walk an the rest of Your life telling Him or Her to shut up an sit down. Wow what a wonderful job. Wouldn't trade it for the world. Congrads. Artie :party-smiley-004:

Congratz!!

bmtbandit 05-10-2012 08:15 AM

Congrats, My son will be 2 this July, hasn't slowed us down. If you keep living your life, the kids adapt to your schedule and activities. You don't have to change and adapt to what other people think. We have been boating with him since he was 3 weeks old, just got to be smart about it.

bluellama 05-10-2012 08:18 AM

Congrats Gino. It's going to be an great adventure, enjoy the ride and have fun.

Tom A. 05-10-2012 09:07 AM

Congrats Gino!!!!!

dirtlawyer 05-10-2012 09:10 AM

Congrats Gino - its a big change but a great one - I have 2 daughters 1 and soon to be 4, and I wouldn't trade them for anything! And... both went out on our lake boat within a few months of being born and both LOVE the water and boating.

RollWithIt 05-10-2012 09:29 AM

congratulations Gino. Dont have any kids myself but I have two nieces that I spend alot of time around. I'm sure you will be just as dedicated, if not more, to your kid than you are in life's other passions.

drpete3 05-10-2012 09:39 AM

Love how you announced it to us. Congrats! Mine mean everything to me.

Keith Atlanta 05-10-2012 09:40 AM

It will change you, you'll see. I have a 4 month old boy. My first kid and first marriage at 39 years old. Nothing about me or my personality has changed but I can tell you I am less likely to bury the throttles and really lay it out... and my boat is a $hitload slower than yours. I actually think about the repercussions of my actions now. Not much, but I do consider it!
