    Oh, how I do love my girls!

    It's been a whirlwind year, this 2014, and I'm thankful for a number of things, but chief among them are our two adopted girls. The youngest gave us a granddaughter in mid-August. I already have a .25ACP derringer for her, I'm just looking for an IDH (Inside the Diaper Holster) that will fit her.

    And yes, the spoiling has already begun.



    Last week, I took the oldest to the range. They are closing on their first house this week so she's in a new neighborhood, taking the boys to a new school, new baseball league, etc. It had been hectic and stressful and so being the good dad that I am, I suggested a few hours at the range.

    Couple of guys came over and complimented me on her targets, which made my entire week.



    Life is good.

    You should have tried to get her started earlier and not waited so long on the .25acp. Great looking family.

    Nice to see girls raised right. Well done Recluse, you should be proud.
    You will learn far more at the casting, loading, and shooting bench than you ever will at a computer bench.

    You have every right to be a proud grandpa, congrats. Agreed on the FMJ's, finally figured that out on my P3AT.

    Man there is just something about those Grands, and girls in general. We had two boys, and our first grand was a boy. OK we know how to do this. Then came the second grand and She changed everything in this family! Congratulations.
