Not arcade related...but we just had a new baby!!
« on: December 17, 2008, 09:40:55 pm »
Great news that i had to share with everyone, this afternoon at 3:44pm, my wife gave birth to our second son, Xander.  He was 6pounds, 15 ounces, and 20 inches long.  the batteries in the camera died after only a few pics, so i didn't get alot of good pics..but here is one of my oldest son Zakary looking at Xander for the first time.


like i said, not a great pic of the baby...but it is all i have until tomorrow.

i just had to share the great news

Congrats! Now start him off with the soft spring in the U360, and in a few years, move him up to the medium stiffness...

BTW, whichever company makes those red, white, and blue knit caps has a frigging monopoly.

Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three.

Congratulations.

Now you just need to buy your baby one of these infant shirts and start him out at geek status :)
