I just found out I'm gonna be a DAD!!!!

Holy Crap!!!



I'm still in shock!!!



I need another Opus..





And a STRONG drink....



Just wanted to share the good news with my many great Brothers. Y'all have shown me so much support with the pass, trades, advice on cigars, etc... now I'm really gonna need some advice!! My mind is racing a mile a minute... I've received an Opus from chipslave and recently one from abennet. The one I just smoked to celebrate the news was from chipslave - Jay thanks for the great gift! Now.. where's that one from abennet...

Gongrats. Ethan,
I'll be sending you one for the EMOTR box pass. I'd like for it to go into the new box though. Best of health to you the missus, and the bun in the oven.
Later

I've got three boys, and if my wife could keep me off the back porch smokin', she'd like to have another.

Congratulations!

Now you get to worry about the little baby for the rest of your life. Remember when your parents said, "I can't wait until it happens to you!" What goes around comes around.

Enjoy the bundle of joy!

God Bless!

Glad you liked the Opus Ethan. Man.... if I have ever heard of a reason to smoke the Opus it would have to be that!

And just think.... you thought you wouldn't have a reason to smoke the good stuff ;)

Congrats Ethan,

I don't know what to send with your next package, a Vol Baby Rattle, or a UT cheerleading outfit.

al'Thor, congratulations! I had my son this weekend for the first time since the "lady" I married took him over a month ago... We're at the beginning of what will surely be an ugly divorce... It was unbelievable to have him for the weekend. He's coming up on 7 months old and I just FINALY got him to learn the Dadadada sound. He doesn't know what it means yet, but I got him to say it :-) I spent all weekend tending to his needs, like a baby bird. Feeding him, changing him, playing with him, putting him to bed, getting him up. It's funny, because when you explain it like that, it sounds like it could be considered drudgery, but it was a true joy, every minute of it, even when he would cry and I would hold him and tell him I understood and it would be alright. It's something I've waited for all of my life and I just turned 45. I can't put in to words how wonderful it is to be a father. I wish that my wife would have chosen another path, but it is what it is. But I'm going to be the best dad I can. Congratulations again, and I pray to God that your baby is healthy and that your family is blessed with this new child. May God bless…

Thanks everyone! It's times like these (and our little box pass crisis) that makes me feel so privileged to be a part of this community - I've already received several emails in addition to all of the kind words and wishes on this thread - y'all are the best.

So, now...


How about some more advice!!!!

whoa, whoa - wait a second mr. hung, don't you go talking about multiple little Ethan's - one little Ethan is plenty for now!! so what do you have for me? If you have one of those automated baby feeders/burpers/changers - that would be great! (or just some tranquilizers for the time being....)

Ethan, lil' ones take up lots of time and love, so you'll probably have no time to smoke.....so as a good frien I will offer some coolidor space.... send them over and when ypur little one reaches 3 or 4 I'll send them back...LOL if there's any left!!!!!!!

I have 2 boys and a girl. The diff is incredible I'd take 5 boys vs one girl. Even my wife finally came around and admitted that boys were much easier to deal with. Now that I hvae her she is not for sale or trade unless you got a real good gar package deal.

Female-brown eyes 13, Male-blueeyes 12, Female blue eyes-10, Male brown eyes- 9. The Oldest found a new gear somewhere around age 11 and is going at about 105 MPH daily, The second in line is too smart for me to keep up with, the second girl is watching older siser and learning fast, the younest boy is still ok, but I think they are taking him over to the dark side slowly. AND I am sure that the mom is meeting with them secretly at night discussing how they can get the Life insurance early :(. My suggestion to you Al'Thor is this- LONG Distance edurance events, rum and cigars. Enjoy the box pass buddy. ROb
P.S. I would trade ANY of them for anything in the world :)
