I'm a dad! I don't know many of your personally, but I read your comments nearly everyday so feel like you are all my buds. Just wanted to share my joy/amazement and praise to God that my little girl arrived safely...as she was born she was holding on to the cord (wakeboard rope) and she literally was doing a spin on the way out (because the cord was wrapped around her 4 stinking times!) My baby is going to have style <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/659994.jpg" alt="Upload">

Loren, congrats to you and your wife. What a beautiful baby ! It sounds like she's your first. I'm sure you've heard this but there is a special bond between a father and daughter that you can't explain. Hold her every chance you get. My 14 year old daughter was bummed the other day and I tried to rock her like my 2 year old. It didn't work so well but made her laugh.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

Congrats! You won't believe how rewarding it can be to raise kids. Have fun and share lots of good experiences together.

Loren, congradulations from across the lake, hope to see you and Clarissa on the water in a couple months. It's a little cold here now.

Congratulations! She'll be behind a boat before you know it.

Cigars for everyone. Have you bought the shotgun yet?
