Congratulations Pops! She's a beautiful little girl. I'm sure you'll spoil her rotten. And yes, do treasure the time with her. It will go a lot faster than it did when yours were growing up. My two grandsons are 14 and 17 and it seems like yesterday when I was at the hospital waiting for Number 1 to be born. 

Once again, Congrats!

Hey There!

 Well, congratulations are in order. My first grand was also a Girl! We called her Rosamarie. Mom and Dad called her Rosemary! Have you noticed this though. Even the worst person you can think of was cute as a bug as a baby! What Happened?

 

Same with puppies.

God makes them cute so you don't kill them.

Congradulations.

I've got three but have never really gotten that involved with them, my wife has.  It must be my upbringingand experiences with my two brothers.  Oh well, enjoy them.

Ah, congrats. How cute. Such a wonderful thing to be able to teach, spoil and then give them back for all the hard stuff. Again, congrats.

Congrats John! Toast

My oldest is going into his last year of college. His brother into his last year in high school. They've sat and watched me build for hours, asked all kinds of questions, but will not build anything. Hang on tight because the ride gets very bumpy sometimes but it flies by so fast and you will wonder where it went.

Thanks all.  I think I was more nervous about my daughter’s pregnancy than I was about my wife’s back in the day.  I was pacing the floor waiting to hear what happened for a few hours.  So happy that their new family is well and I have a new little one to play with.  This is the first in the family so I'm sure she will be spoiled!  I'm as proud as can be.  Had no idea how much I would feel for her until I saw her little face.  My heart swelled and I cried a bit.   Overwhelmed with emotion considering everyone came though okay and her sweet little face.  Wow – I had no idea what the grandpa experience would be but I love that little one already.  Damn!  

Thanks,

John
