Welcome to Jackson, the newest member of the clan. Born May 6th in Clearwater FL. All healthy, and doing what babies do best, sleep and eat. Funny how we come full circle as we get older, sleep and eat. :smile: This is my youngest daughters first and she just surprised me this last week with a visit. Nice to hold a baby again but brought back all those memories of going to work like a zombie. Tell you guys what, being a Grandpa is the best gig in the world. All the fun, none of the pain. Sugar 'em up and send them home. Sweet revenge I call it. Young Jackson is one of 3 grandkids and I will look forward to the spoiling process I have in place.

    Congrats, Tony. Cute kid. A grandpa thrice over? And I bet I'm a little older than you? Not ready for that label yet, though. I will be when the time comes. But I always figured that would be when I "retire" or close to it.

    Enjoy!

    Congratulations, Tony, great looking grandson !

    BTW, I like the way you think: "Sugar 'em up and send them home.". We have a few ideas under development here at the Institute which we'll be willing to share after they've been tested. In the meantime, continue enjoying being a grandpa, it is awesome.

    Little to none as I stopped spinning vinyl along time ago. :wink: Now he may say "car insurance" or '69 Camero.

    When my older grandson was 3, he was watching TV and came up to me and asked if I'd buy him car insurance. Nearly spit my coffee across the room. Kid must have seen a commercial. Kids always want what they see on TV. Under intense negotiations, the kid weaseled a new Ninja sword out of me and a pair of Hulk gloves.
