Congrats again Artie and Anne. Dont hurry anything, enjoy it all, before long you will be paying for college and sad they are gone. It all happens very fast when you think back about it.

The car seat will be your best friend, straight from the truck to the boat.

The boys were always up for boating, you will still find them most weekends hanging with the CBBC group. When they were younger we would shut the boat off in the middle of the lake and judge our dives off the back of the boat. They would bring their friends out, non-boating families, they thought we were nuts to be diving off a boat in the middle of the lake. A lot of awesome memories raising the kids on the boat.

Artie!

Congrats Amigo! I'm feeling so old right now. I remember the first time I met you as the "young intern"...

So let's see. He'll need a helmet for the cars, a headset for the planes, a vest for the boats. It's going to be quite an education!

Just keep him away from Pierce! Too scary...

Hey I was an intern once...and a resident...

My poor wife.... :lolhit:

Good stuff! Although I must admit, my wife is the smart one. I got all mixed up with aviation and cars, and my degree was in Hospitality Management (read bartending :bunnydance: )

My wife on the other hand, went through all that intern / residency stuff! She's now practicing happily as a pediatrician :)

Do we have any CBBC onsies? :lolhit:

Congrats!

Artie, CONGRATS to you and your wife on y'alls first.
I can close my eyes and touch those moments when my son, twin daughters, and our late 30's surpise daughter were born and even though they're all adults now you'll soon find out just how AWESOME God's blessing of children to us really is.
Embrace every single moment as time will go by much quicker than it ever has before.
Whatever you do don't miss the delivery by her side.
You'll see first hand that there truly is a higher power when God touches your heart and soul with his special gift your newborn.
WAY TO GO to both of you!!!

See ya,
Kelly

[ATTACH=CONFIG]517353[/ATTACH]Congrats again RT, tell Ann we said congrats too. Name the weekend and we will open a box of these beauties up at KI or PIB. As far as baby proofing you boat, better cut out all the party spots, so we will see you guys at Alum more???

Congrats I have two girls and want a boy bad. Two girls= 36 yrs old and got gray hairs already. Ones 7 other 15 and I have to threaten all the boys away. Not real fun when you know what they all want what I did at 15 now it's a big deal to me and never understood when I was 15 why my girlfriends dad kinda hated me and the other guys. Now I know!

Congrats, I am still raising kids, 27 year old son out of University and at HP (thank God), 25 YO daughter in med school, 17 YO Daughter in HS, 12 YO Daughter in 6th, just added a 15 YO Cousin whose parents could not raise her., kids will keep you young and age you all at the same time.

I swear it was just a couple of years ago that my youngest was born

Hey Artie,
Congrats again!!

Congrats, that is very exciting!! It is truly a wonderful experience. My son is 5 months old and was born on August 25th. That is also the same day of our wedding anniversary. I guess i have not excuses for missing the anniversary now. Enjoy every moment with him.

Thanks! Should work now; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FI8q...e_gdata_player

So I'm not usually one to get excited about cakes, but the wifey sent me a pic from her shower. The gal that threw the party had this cake made, I'd say she knocked it out of the park!

I love it.

But you are still one, so can I claim you on my 2013 taxes?

Nice cake, sweet graphics on the boat lol

nice cake!

Congrats! Warm weather is a great time for them to be born!
My 8 month boy is the best thing that's ever happened to me!
1 week old he was on our houseboat.
About a month old took his first ride on the Fountain.

your attitude towards motorcycles is gonna change real fast. my 10 year old has been driving wave runners for 5 years-with me on board. but motorcycles? if I can keep him off motorcycles till he dies of old age, I feel I will not have failed as a father.

Honestly you're probably right. I used to ride all the time, but haven't ridden for over a year on the street. Trouble is living out in the sticks, the the trails on the back 40 are awful appealing for dirt bikes. :daz:

Well, he's finally here! One day after my birthday, First Mate Arthur Lucas "Ace"

There is nothing else like it... Slow down and take it in.

We are 10 weeks now with our #2 & my 2 year old boy is The best most fun thing I have ever had in my life...
Beats all the cars boats & bikes by far....

Have to admit I do think differently now of motorcycles though....as much as I enjoy them I want to be here for my family and you will see how much he makes you fulfilled & a better person...so again congrats & god bless your family !

Congrats proud daddy. Tell Ann we said congratulations too.

Congrats
As the father of four and Grandpa to six I can tell you this straight up.
"From this day forward the best part of your lives just got started"
I wish you and yours all the enjoyment a family offers for the rest of your lives.
We've been together for almost 35 years and are still just getting started.
My Mom was right, kids are super special and Grandkids are the BOMB!!!
