He's got a lot of hair, too! The baby actually looks a lot like my friend's son Andrew when he was born.

That was thirteen years ago...

Oh boy, a good reminder how so little my boys were... now they are 10 and 8 years!  Jeez, where did the years go I always wonder.  You enjoy every moment being a father!

Sterno,
A heartfelt congratulations to you and your wife on your wee one! That is one of the best things in life. Watch out though they grow up in what feels like the blink of an eye.

Cheers
Dave

Well guys, as you may have noticed, Sterno hasn't been on much lately. He and his wife have been waiting for a baby. Well little Maxwell Philip Gianniny arrived Monday evening at 7:20 pm. He was 6lbs -2 oz and 18 inches long. He was about a week or so early but both he and mom, (and pop ) , are doing fine. Congratulations !!

Promise us that you will let us know right away if you find something that works out great for both the baby and our model hobby.  Maybe white diapers or baby powder can be used in the winter diomara or something like that... Thumbs Up [tup]

HVH:  "Tresspassers will be shot. Survivors will be shot again".  I think it was my wife that gave me that one.

I am enjoying what everyone has posted.  Making me giggle on my first day off.  Thank you very much.  I needed it

Cheers

Do not take Daddy's models out to the sandbox to play with.

Do not use Daddy's models for "target practice" by throwing the football at them.

Do not play "Demolition Derby" with Daddy's model cars.

Do not color Daddy's instruction sheets with crayons; do not paint Daddy's models with watercolors "to make them look pretty."

One more word, Stern0: You'll be absolutely amazed at how fast kids grow! One day he's in diapers, and the next thing you know, you're helping him choose a tuxedo for the senior high-school prom.
