Been gone too long - I do have a good excuse!

[ilikewood]

Sorry I have been gone too long and not been involved here lately! I know people have e-mailed me and I haven't responded, but I'm getting to that.

My excuse is simple....8 pounds 1 ounce and 21 inches. We got her at 5 days old and she is just a doll, but this was a total suprise and we were not expecting another child!! The only problem....I don't get much sleep anymore! We hope to adopt her, but we are working on the paperwork right now.

For all those who don't know me....THAT MAKES 7 CHILDREN!

I'll try to catch up on e-mails and the like, but this may have put a crimp in my Rendezvous plans (I still hope to go, but my chances are getting bleak).

As long as it doesn't put a crimp in supplying us with top quality Cocobolo, you're excused.[]

Oh, yeah, congratulations.

Congrates Bill ans I can relate, my excuse was 8 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches[]

 

[JimGo]

CONGRATULATIONS Bill! That must have come as a total shock! lol So, at this point is it like riding a bike? []

My youngest was 9....we have to childprooof everything again. We gave ALL our baby stuff away. Luckily, we have had a bunch of people who are helping us by giving us their baby things. At least I have 6 babysitters now! []

Congratulations to you and Tonya. BTW we child proffed our home too. However, they still get in. [}]

Sincerely though. Congratulations!

 

[Ligget]

I think you need to "daddy proof" something too [}] LOL

 

[Scott]

Bill! Congratulations! A baby will really keep you young (or make you old)!!! [8D]

You and your Wife are good people! She will be lucky to have you as parents!

Scott.

 

[ilikewood]

Dario, I got "Daddy proofed" after 3 kids. [][xx(] The rest were just foster kids we just couldn't part with and just had to adopt.

 

[Dario]

Duh [B)]...it was all there at the OP...I jumped after reading the "8 pounds 1 ounce and 21 inches" part. LOL

 

[skiprat]

Well done again!!

PS; Don't let the older ones see your ' the rest were just foster kids[]

 

[ilikewood]

Your right...."just" was not the proper way in saying that! [:I]

 

[PenWorks]

Congrats Bill, I give you a lot of credit my man.
It takes special people to make the commitment you, your wife and family have made.

Congratulation Bill, you do need to get more sleep. Seven makes a good number and we wish you the best. Thanks again.
