Just got the call that my daughter in Tucson is in the hospital and my first grandchild is on its' way. Will be headed out soon to be there for the event.

I guess I am officially a Grandfather which makes me older than I am. Wheeeee!

Hope I make it before the little bugger pops out.

Later ...............................

Congrats Ron!

Thanks All .... missed the Grand Opening by about 4 hours ... I tried but the Docs wanted to sleep so they induced contractions .... selfish bung holes ... they knew I was on my way. No pics yet ... Got to see daughter & Lana at 4:00 AM and left camera in car.

Anyway, Lana Shields (slight war on middle name but probably Regan). 04/30/2013 @ 23:06 PM ...19.5" / 7 lbs 3 oz of fighting fury.

Just call me Grumps Gramps Grandpa!!

Mom & Baby both fine though Lana was a little grumpy being woke up by a smelly old fart

The Circle of Life renews and I am happy

Congrats Ron. When you get really old like me, you'll have 9 grand and 5 great.

At least one birthday party a month every month.

Posted by: Dr Evil May 1 2013, 05:23 PM

Dang, only now becoming a grandfather. I, too, thought you would be on the 4th generation. I think we are saying that you have not aged well

Congrats

Posted by: balljoint May 1 2013, 05:28 PM

If the middle name is still not set in stone then i would recommend "Dave". Or go with two middle names, both my kids got two, covers more bases.

Posted by: Madswede May 2 2013, 11:19 AM

Not having kids myself, I dunno what being a parent is like let alone a grandpa, but I'm about that age where some of my friends are becoming grandparents.

Regardless of that, this is awesome news! Mucho Congrats Ron! to the young 'un!
