Random post - now have a new grandson!

A happy start to the day. DIL delivered - via C section - a healthy 7lb 9 oz /20 in tall baby boy. very early this AM -- as is the way of babies it seems...

Cool for us, thought I'd share with my buds here...

Not allowed to visit, the hospital is still in lockdown - My son and his sister all that's allowed for now.

 

Congrats on the new arrival, make sure to spoil the snot out of the little feller every chance you get!



We are expecting my first grand child any second now here, got a nervous pappa standing by for a flight home!

 

Remember you have only one job now, that is to enjoy what was delivered.

 

Just as our first grandchild was life changer, this one is my youngest son's first.

Named Atrayus, of Greek origin, the baby's name translates as "Gift of god" -- as are all children.

 

Children, our minister 40 years ago said it all. Those who have children are blessed by the Lord, those who don't have been spared by the Lord. Found out grand children are a great gift to us elderly, can spoil them, enjoy them, be blessed by being with them, and then you can go back home and get a good nights sleep. In my life and raising children, two of life's biggest blessings are when they start sleeping all night and you can also do the same, and when they are toilet trained. Somehow I am one of those that would rather butcher a hog than change a diaper. Being over 80 and looking back, being there when they change from laying there as a pretty baby to that child that never quits moving nor asking questions has to be one of God's greatest gifts. Didn't say it didn't drive me crazy at times, but we are blessed when we can watch a little person come into being and it never seems to end.

Sunrises and healthy 2 year olds, two of God's greatest gifts to a new day and a promise of many tomorrows.

 

Congrats to all involved. My 1st and most likely, only granddaughter is a little over 2 1/2 yrs old now. Shes at the age now where shes interested in everything,, and the giggles are heart warming. But keeping up with her is a chore . Again, congrats , and best wishes from here on out.

 

This makes for 6 total grandkiddos... All are a blessing

 

God bless little Atrayus and the whole DKR clan.

 

Congrats to the family and DKR
Now is the time to buy the lad a 10/22 and some ammo.
Look into it now for a Jeep for when he turns 16 You can tool around in it for the next 15 years, You know it needs to be ran once a month.
Things like that, I'm sure other members will be glad to help out with a Grandson needs this list !!!

 

Mamas,
Don't let your children grow up to be liberals!

 

Bet your grandson gets a real kick out of that, @Yard Dart.
I have no children and by default no grandchildren.
To those who do, and I'm not much for religion but I'll say it anyway, God bless you.

 

Good on ya, mates!

 

Absodamnlutly!

 

Exactly, @DKR gets to spoil, er train him up right!

 

Humor and jokes had the only real wisdom I have seen today.

"If you raise your children, you can spoil your grandkids;
but if you spoil your children, you will have to raise your grandkids."

I think he found the secret of life, everything makes sense now.

Thank you hot diggity for that tidbit of wisdom that should be not be ignored by every new parent.

 

Congrats!!
