Earl (and family),Warmest congratulations and best wishes on the new arrival!I particularly like the first photo, with Elijah staring at the bed's Autopilot panel trying to figure out which button to press first! Start as you mean to go on...! And Ken, all the best as a Grandpa! Two great starts to the year! :-beerchug Toni.

Earl,Congrats! To you, your spouse, and families .... PEACE!I know you are right, this is the most wonderful thing ... after three (3) I am still smiling.Now, start saving some money; because by 2015, Elijah will be emptying your pockets routinely.Great looking boy, too ... seems he resembles his mother!

Your life will never be the same again! Thanks for sharing this wonderful event with us all.

You have experienced an event that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Not to take away from your second or third experience with it, but the first child is certainly something that only those that have been through it can understand. It's almost mystical.Having been there, I feel your joy.

No one has mentioned your wife. That is the most serenely happy, peaceful face I have seen for a long time. Congrats to you both. Let us know when the lad is ready for multiplayer.Mark "Dark Moment" Beaumonthttp://www.swiremariners.com/newlogo.jpg
