Thanks guys!

You know I was having a hard time dealing with this hard water season being tied down and or destroyed. (selfish I know) But that all went a way on the very second she came into this world.

I'm not too sure of the replica thing, I may just stick to JPEGS.

Congratulations. Daughters are the greatest thing in the world. I love my son as much as anything, but there is just something to girls being daddy's and boys being mom's. My daughter is probably my best friend in the whole world at 7. Its gonna break my heart when she starts wanting to hang out with her friends more than me. Only advice I have is to treat her how you would treat a son, (take her with you fishing and for walks in the woods), and spend as much time with her as you can because it all goes too quickly. It's an investment that you will never regret making.

Congrats Hecker!!! She's a Beauty!

Yes it will take some sacrifices for time on the water at first, but enjoy this time they don't stay little for long.

My youngest is in preschool & we asked ourselves the other day "When did he grow up?"

corey

don't believe there is no chance for you.

My Father-in-law who is legally bind his whole life got married at 45 and had five children and is now 80 with 11 grandchildren. It is as if he has lived two life times. 34 is very young at least I think so. I just turned 30 myself and I feel like I'm still 20.

Thanks for the congrats

Mommy gets to come home today

Baby is home, Momma is sleeping, Grandma is over. Life is good!
