Amen to that. Mine is 16 and it seems like only yesterday she hugged Minnie for the first time when she was two. Much congrats to you unclescrooge and to the family. Hang on to your hat and glasses, but don't blink.

hey steve, maybe you have a future barber there? i have a pic of myself sitting on my aunts lap when i was about 5 with a shaved head after i tried cutting my own hair. little did anyone know i wouldnt have hair 40 years later! now i shave it off on purpose!

well, after a week of grunting, groaning and moaning,(mostly yelling and throwing things) i finally got the crown molding hung in the dining room. i just have to caulk a bit and paint it. i did it in the living room and dw said " oh i like that, we (meaning me) should do that in the dining room. if you never did it before, dont try it!!! way to many factors go into it. the ceiling and walls arent square to each other. the courners are not true 90 degrees than we got two goofy angles for the foyer wall. i must of blew away 20 foot of it just trying to get it to fit!! a carpenter im not!!! my house was built in 1941 and i think they thought it was to be a bomb shelter. i have ruff cut 2x6,12 to 14 on center (pending on there mood.) wood lathe with wire mesh than a layer of ruff plaster. than, they went over it with the old drywall (it has no finish paper on it like todays drywall) than the skim coat plaster over that!!!! well, at least it wont fall down!

My wife teaches Bio 101/102, and she starts her Plant Bio lecture with, "Clorophyl? More like boro-phyl!"

She even has a boreophyl t-shirt.

That's awesome!

Congratulations! I wouldn't trade my DD for anything, but trust me, the drama will come!

My house was built in 1926 and has all original crown moulding in the living room and dining room. The stuff is about 8 inches thick and was clearly installed by someone who know what they were doing! Can't find stuff like this now a days!

CONGRATS, Nathan!! Tight race... but you pulled it off!

Oh yeah... crown molding gives me a major If you have never tried it, and you really want to test your patience and skills, give it a try. It gives you a new appreciation for those who do it every day!

Ah yes, crown moulding! I attempted it when we built our house in 1984. I went into work totally frustrated the next day and my boss said "You have to cut it upside down!" I thought he was nuts but it worked! I wish we had had the Internet back then!

Our DD is 33 and the mother of our DGS. She has a great husband who really looks after her and who is a great Dad. Last night, he invited me to a Lehigh Valley IronPigs game, company seats on the 1st base line, just even with the mound. The 'Pigs won 8-1 over Syracuse (this is AAA baseball just 20 minutes from my home). Cold, but a good game, none-the-less.

Our Navy son will be flying down to Pensacola in a couple hours for his 5-day working interview with the Blue Angels! I'm really excited for him and I'm praying he gets this 3-year tour with them. He's had a great 4-years so far and this would be a tremendous boost for him.

If we don't hear from Nate, it's because the Radical Conservatives are in Washington, DC, on vacation. Have a great time, Nate!

We got there just in time for the National Anthem! Very nicely done by a large group of school kids!
I don't think even Nate could get into trouble that fast!

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!

Are you going to try for #5???

I think 4 will be plenty :tired:

Congrats!!!!!

Its always nice to have a new boss.

The boss has been DW for 14 years. I doubt that will change.

Fantastic news!!! Congratulations on the new addition!!!

Incredible news, congratulations!

Congrats! Looks like you have your timing down to a science.

She is a scientist, but our boys' nicknames are "Pill", "Patch", "daddy didn't go to Walgreens" and this one is "weren't careful for ONE week." I'm definately pointing to devine intervention with all of my kids!

congrats!!!! no sense you having all that peace and quiet! welcome to the daughter club!! enjoy while shes young, mines 17 and they turn into women faster than you think!

Congratulations unclescrooge! Better start practicing hair braiding and ponytails!

Thanks everyone. My DW said she can see my hair turning gray. And I've had a few cousins with long hair, so I'm good there. but ? I'm not quite ready for a princess. a gir? no problem. Princess? we'll see...
We're due in September, and have a December WDW trip. Grandma & Grandpa are joining us, so the extra eyes will be nice.

Love the nicknames!! I have two wonderful dds (8,5). But, they already come home from school talking about which boys are "hot" and I just cringe. That quickly added the gray, so I cut my own hair with the clippers (no guard in the summer and 1st guard the rest of the year) about every month to keep the gray out. Congratulations.

Congrats on the new addition, unclescrooge. Our first was a DD, and she was the one that went into daycare and preschool with the pony tail not centered in her head because her father was the one that had to do it. Or, if she had pigtails, they were no where near being the same level on her head.

This has been an interesting week. Thought that I was going to get my TR started last Monday, but after getting on here last Sunday morning, I haven't sniffed this site since until now. Unbelievably busy week with unknown games and extra practices (soccer, baseball, and dance) and the kids at school in some sort of post spring break funk that has caused their behavior to really stink. Did have an accomplishment this weekend, though. Did my first triathlon yesterday. It was a bigger rush than the 2 marathons that I did a few years back. Finished alive, which was the goal, and a little bit ahead of the time that I had set as my goal time. It was only a sprint (250 Y swim, 9 miles bike, 5K run), but it was tons of fun. May look at an Olympic distance job later this year or next spring just to check out the longer distances. I'll never do an Ironman (I have a life and a job...), but I can't tell you how much fun this was. Those of you interested in a new challenge may want to look into this. Yeah you have to train, but these distances aren't enough to take you away from the family for hours at a time, which is why it really appealed to me.

Fed, I'll be on the lookout for you in June. That construction area in Brunswick was terrible, not the construction in general, but the craziness that it caused with the traffic. Lines of trucks in the left lane, tons of pattern switches, etc.... Is there a completion date set???

So, the goal for this week, after catching up on schedules, etc... is to really start the report and to catch up on the 30 pages that were added since last Sunday. Hope ya'll have a great day.

Funny story...Yesterday my oldest son had something that the 3 year old wanted. The oldest says to him "I'll give it to you if you say the magic word". In true Disney fashion the 3 yo says "Misca musca Mickey Mouse". Ya gotta love what comes out of kids mouths.

No stolen thunder there. Those guys are PAID to be "Disneydads".

We give freely of our time to instill the Disney spirit in our progeny.
