Congrats again, the boys were on the water by 6 weeks old. I ll try to find a pic for you. I am sure if you get up here we can find a safe babysitter. The boys to this day can go set down on the V-birth and run on Lake Michigan. I just don't understand how they don't turn green.

Congratulations RT
Take your time and savor the moments. It moves fast. My bundle of joy followed me on motorcycles, professional pilot as a career, and enjoying boating. in fact they bought a Donzi too lol. You will wish you had more time.

Congrats man. We have 2 boys under the age of 3 - you'll have a blast.
The one thing that stood out to me was that The "sleepless" nights that everyone talks about goes by so fast it isn't even worth worrying about.
The first 5 months or so are kind of dull but then they start recognizing you and jabbering on and it just gets better from there.

Thank you all for the well wishes, I'm sharing them with the wifey 
Thanks, Bob. We rented "Half House" in Charlevoix for the inlaws so they can be our on call babysitters! I'm sure they will want a break here and there, though.
The first 5 months to a year is the "unknown" part for me. Fortunately my wife deals with that age all day every day, and she is MOST excited for the first year. I'm looking forward to it.

Congrats Artie. It will change your life, all for the better. Me and the wife never wanted or planned to have kids. Well a well timed bachelor and bachelorette party on the same night, 9 months later... you get the drift. Anyway, I couldn't imaging life without our daughter (12 years old). Our daughter was raised on the boat. We take here everywhere. We seldom do anything without her. Aside from an occasional trip to PIB... But we have taken her with us a few times as well. Again Congratulations!!!
