Show him off at the next breakfast, or the next...
I guess he beat the 912

Posted by: messix Jun 11 2005, 11:47 AM

congrats.

the best thing that ever happened to me was becomming a dad.

nothing will ever compare. and you wont look at any thing like you do when you look at your child.

its ok to put off all other projects, this new one is the best and most important. it will go by way to fast. mine is five and she's starting school in the fall and i'm not ready for that yet.

Posted by: Demick Jun 11 2005, 11:53 AM

Congratulations Britain!

Now go home and get one last night of good sleep before mom and baby come home. It might be the last time you sleep through the night for a long time!!

You guys are great. Thanks for the kind words and encouragment. My wife and newborn son will be returning home tomorrow morning...we can't wait. He is a wonderful little guy and it very active. I still can't believe that he is less than a day old so far. If you are local and wanna drop by, give me a ring on my cell 408-603-9945.

I have added several pictures on my website as well as two videos. I can't seem to get the audio input working so these videos are without sound.

Looks like he came out with current trends intact. Dark hair with bleached tips is all the rage.

Mr. Cutie!

And he has frosted tips already! Must be a California thing!
