My most ambitious replica project ever!!

[VW Dave]

My son, Dominic Michael, was born this past Sunday night. Based on his 8lb 1oz weight, he's right about 1/22nd scale to me....for now The 2009 NNL East is already on his schedule, according to mommy.

Thanks for letting me share the news with my 'extended family.'

Congratulations Dave!

That is the ABSOLUTE BEST blessing you can get! That is the best part of life bar none.

Beautiful child. Congratulations.

My only advice is to enjoy every minute, because on day they will grow up and you will miss them. I have a son 20 and a daughter 18, and long for the days of Beanie Babies, PokEMon trade shows, Britney Spears CD's video games, Mario Brothers, Skateboards, Surfing, Doll Shows, Dance Recitals, and the other adventures that come with being involved with your kids. The sleep deprived nights will soon pass, then another nightmare session breaking him from his bottle, then potty training, flus, trips to the hospital, and then it is the toy stage, then teaching to drive, use tools, change a tire, and then come the friends..........Enjoy every moment for when they leave for college, you will miss them before the wind blows the footstep from the driveway.

I have good relationship with both of my kids, but they just aren't around enough and the silence to both my ex wife and I are deafening.

Enjoy, and you have a special blessing with a home hobby that keeps you around the house a little more and be able to bond with your children, share your interest, and even, bond more closely with your wife.

I believe Ken said it better than I. I'm a parent too, i live for my son who is almost nine. He constantly tells me how he wants to be a wrecker driver like his Dad. Reminds me of the Willie Nelson song , Don't let yer Kids Grow Up to be Cowboys. Now ya'all sing that to the tune of don't let yer kids grow up to be Mechanics and drivers . One word of advice here Dave , spend "REAL" time with the child . Listen to him when he speaks , his fears are real to him and he really wants assurances that you care . Above all, never make a promise you aren't prepared to keep. Children absorb everything too!

Congratulations…..enjoy this childhood…they grow up way to fast (might be a good thing I’m not sure) so have fun with him now and start saving for his education now. I can’t even imagine what it is going to cost in 19 years from now…man I am glad that is over and paid for. Again, congrat’s…kids, your kids are amazing when you stop and think about it.

[mhadman]

lets not also forget that having kids is the best excuse in the world for playing with all those cool toys!

LOL...Congrats again!
