You are gonna be a great dad Ferman. Something tells me he is gonna have a bunch of toys to practice his driving skills before he gets the keys to the car. The baby's job is to eat sleep crap and cry for a little while but when he starts to talking and walking, that is when the real fun begins...

I guess it would be bad form to try and haul you off on another Scallop Expedition at this point. (I know the answer, BUT it is the last weekend for 2012).. :zip:

You have no idea how BAD I want to go, but right now theres no way I could. I've got a vette out in the shop that needs alot of work, several more people waiting in line, and not to mention all of teh workload that Patrick has added. I'll have to catch yeah next year to go. I need to give you a call about some wood, but I got some other work I have to get done today so I will try and call you tommorrow.

I completely understand, you are doing the right thing.. I should never have such thoughts or tempt you in any way. LOL.. I should stay home and fix a few things around the house that I have been putting off.. The wife basically said NO when I asked if she wanted to go due to this being the first weekend in a while she didn't have to work or deal with sorority. Wonder if the weather will cooperate?

Got a few more pictures to post up.

He looks great! Keep 'em coming.

I love that first pic of you holding him while sitting. You look positively radient. Welcome to Fatherhood. You now have a full time job with great fringe benefits. :beer:

How is Patrick and family getting along?

Great pics, he's a good lookin' boy! God bless ya'll!

Doing pretty good. A bit droggy today after getting his first shots yesterday, but seems alright. Us on the other hand are still trying to get him on a daytime schedule and adjust. The wife thought she was doing good yesterday and had a good handle on everything until she basically blacked out from exhaustion on the couch after eating dinner. And lets just say my first day back doing a full days work was EXHAUSTING as well(espescially considering I wasn't just working outside, but also doing alot of the housework still). It'll take us awhile, but I'm sure we'll get it down eventually.

Yep...if you're like most parents is should calm down in about 20-25 years...:you:

I figure about 19 years when he gets sent down teh road to school, then we get to go back to somewhat normal.

Figured I would add a picture of a monumental occasion, he took his first trip to the parts store today.

Ready to go dad.
Very cool Ferm.

I was scared there for a 2nd!! I would have it been stinky!! LOL

Great he looks healthy! Congrats!

No Stink worthy pics, just figured I would post a pic of my boy growing up and going into the parts store for the first time. He was actually smiling and giggling the whole time in there to.

The difference between men and boys, is not their age but the price of their toys.

Of course he was smiling. :love:

Good to see him getting out and about Ferm. Pretty soon you wont even have to go in the parts store anymore!
Destroyer, i think your statement holds true!
