Wow congratulations!! I was privledged to join that club last November and I know it will bring enjoyment to everyone involved.

You will find yourself looking at baby things again and you will notice other peoples babies more now too.

Kind of a grand prize for raising children....... Grandparent status.

Re: Grandbaby

Thats Funny QC......Marak has long skinny fingers......I said guitarist or keyboards......Son being a drummer said Drummer......Mom said I will kill you both if hes a drummer......One in the family is enough..... Speaking of Musicains it is so great to see this. Some of you may remember back awhile ago there was an online contest for Bands on myspace. A whole bunch of you helped get my son's band many votes and raise the attention they got. Well a few months after that my boy got invovled with a young lady and the band confronted him on his life choices invovling this young lady. He ended up quiting/ getting kicked out of the band and there was alot of bitterness afterwards. He went and married her and about 2-3 months later the band went on to get a record deal with a pretty big label and is touring from coast to coast with some of his favorite bands. He gave up his dream to be with this woman ...I know deep down inside he was already playing the what if game.......Not good in a new marrage......Yesterday I saw on his face that it was all worth it and that made me more proud then anything he has ever done. We talked and though he has been pretty selfish type of person I believe with all my heart he will be the best Dad and put wife first and Marak second him last........Yes Im a very proud Dad and Grandpa......Oh and I will put pics up tonight or tomarrow. :)

Re: Grandbaby

you can up load to a free service like photobucket.com then you choose the pictures you want( clik the little box at the bottom left of the picture) scrool to the bottom of the page, clik generate html, it will take you to the next page, scroll down to thumb nails clik on that and copy, then insert it into your post.

also if you are planing on posting pictures, you can use the Blue post reply or the go advanced, there you can upload directly from your computer. besure you pictures have been resized to fit the format. 640x480 max.
