Hey, I'm your long lost brother

Congratulations!!! It is the best job in the world, sometimes the toughest too! Boy or girl?, either way, there is no feeling like it in the world! Make sure you have someone recording the first time y'all get to hold them! I often look at our pic's & mine are now 14 & 10...

Found out we're having a boy!! Either way, I'd have been beyond excited, either way they'd be introduced to Mopars, playing in the mud, and shooting guns!!

I read that they use the skin for kids that are born without eyelids. Only problem is that they are a little cockeyed afterwards...

But think of the foresight they will have.

Joined the army after high-school was hoping it was going to be my career but was short lived because of a back injury, then I became a professional student and went to college off and on for six years. After building up a lot of debt from school and a short job at the dodge dealership service department i started traveling the country working on pipelines and paid off my school and bought a bunch of toys
Now I'm back home taking over the family business (small store in a small town) living the quiet life
