Name change!

[Goatwhiskers]

Not here. Come December I won't be Mike, I'll be Paw-Paw. First one, and we don't care which it is as long as it's healthy. This is for my son, who's about to have a conniption fit to know which variety it is (too soon). Maybe she'll give him twins, that'll fix him. GW

[IllinoisCoyoteHunter]

You heard about the three prospective fathers, didn't you. A nurse came out and announced to the first father; "Your wife just delivered twins." How appropriate, he replied, seeing that I'm from the Twin Cities. The second father was informed that he was the father of triplets. Amazing, he responded, I'm from the Triple Cities. The third man fainted. When he came to and was asked why, he told them it was because he came from the Thousand Islands.

Nice! Congrats!

Congratulations!!
I'm now up to 8, wonderful, grandkids. They range in age, from 3 to 13. And they are some of the best things that ever happened to my wife and I !!!!!!
By the way, I've been Poppa, Pampa, Gampa, and Grampa - they're all good!

I have three grandaughters, and they are a joy. My oldest, six years old, was in the basement with me resizing 38 spl cases on the press the other night. Got to bring them up right, you know.

Congradulations,Spoil them and then send back home on a sugar high.

[GhostHawk]

Congratulations!

I have 2 grandkids, a boy and a girl, 3 and 2, and I love the heck out of them.
Grandkids will change the way you look at the world. I know they did for me.

Treasure them, see them every chance you get. Big smiles, hugs and kisses every chance you get.

[mold maker]

Paw Paw, your world is about to drastically change, for the rest of your life. Your former priorities will be replaced, and a richness and fulfillment of your life, is at hand.
Congrats.

Mike
Enjoy every minute with your first grandchild and all thereafter. Mine are 2 to 19 and I will never regret my time invested in them.

[joesig]

Congrats! Spoil them rotten and teach them all you can!

[Goatwhiskers]

Kungfu, naw, twice is enough. Besides, the one I have is a keeper, I've been blessed. But I will say that when we got hitched back in '73 she was a redhead and I had hair to comb. Within 5 years hers turned snow white and mine turned loose. Draw your own conclusions. GW

[scarry scarney]

Goatwisker - Congrats.

But I'm going to beat ya to it. My "name" is changing Aug/Sept to Opa! First one for me. Just like others have said, spoiling is in the future!

[DLCTEX]

Congrats! When my first grandchild came I was asked what I wanted him to call me. I replied 'anything he wants to'. I now have three great grandsons older than my newest grandson. I am a wealthy man.

[lightman]

Congrats! Grandchildren are fun.

[10x]

You're getting a new best friend.
I got one 8 years ago and another 4 years ago come April.
They are added to the three new friends I got 27, 30, and 34 years ago.

It is your job to teach your new friend to enjoy life. To enjoy trains. To realize that the journey is just as good as the destination.
And most importantly, how to appreciate the gift of giving.
The best gift you can give them is your time and friendship.

[farmerjim]

Congratulations Mike ! What first gun will you give your grandchild?

[slim1836]

Now the fun begins, spoil them, feed them lots of sugar, and send them home.:razz:

Jim, whether boy or girl, it will probably be the bolt action .22 that Dad gave me when I was 11. GW
