Dude, you've been holding back on us. CONGRATS! What a cutie! I look forward to seeing you in person some day to collect a requisite cigar. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif You have many happy years ahead....daughters sure will make you feel your emotions!

 

[davesisk]

Well, wasn't meaning to "hold out" per se...there's lots of advice to new parents like "don't put balloons on the mailbox", "don't post pics on the Internet", etc., and it's all for well-meant security reasons. But, I feel comfortable posting a pic here on TBN and on one of the other MB's that I frequent a lot (a BMW Z3 MB), so...I did!

Thanks for the compliments. Cigar will be waiting!

Congratulations. As the father of a 5 year old girl, I predict that you will remain putty in her hands for the foreseeable future. She's a cutie.

Congratulations.
Before you know it, that fine looking young lady will be driving your PT, and soon after that her boyfriends will all want to try it out.

He he...one of our friends showed up with a little ballerina-looking dress. I said "She can't drive a tractor in that!".../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Boy, does Doug (wasabi) know his stuff ! I have a girl who's soon to be 6 and she's already got me wondering what "emotion" I'll be having in the NEXT 5 minutes ! Always remember, "it's just another phase" after about age 3 or 4....a constant roller coaster of "she loves me....she loves me not" - or is that my wife?

Take care of her and if any of the boys (a few years from now) come pedaling up and asking for her hand, just fire up the PT and the noise alone should make them head for the hills.

Dave,
Congratulations on the addition to your family. A beautiful one to pull your strings, but what a great way to go.

DelW....what you are experiencing at this age is a prelude....sort of nature's way of building your emotional muscles for the truly tumultous and emotional teenage years that lie ahead. Two of our girls are in the teen years...17...while many tried to tell me, no one could have convinced me that the previous roller coaster ride was tame compared to what was to come.....my advice is double buckle the seat belt, pay extra attention to strengthen your bond with your mate, soak up all the love you can and steel up in the patience dept buddy!

No matter.....as "they" say these days...."its all good"

 

[MossRoad]

What a cutie! Congratulations!!!

 

[davesisk]

Thanks for all the kind comments, you guys. This is definitely going to be a new experience!

I kept making jokes before the child was born about needing to establish not only a college fund for the kid, but an "auxillary" fund as well, to be used for future bail money if it was a boy, and for guns and ammo if it was a girl..../w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif.
