It's a girl!

Some eighteen months ago, when the number of members was in triple digits, I announced that I was the proud father of a new baby girl. Well, here I am again. I'd like to share my joy with you guys and gals. <br><br>Abigail Elizabeth Skaggs was born on March 19, 2003 and is doing well. She is beautiful like her mother and we are thankful to God for bringing her into our lives.<br><br>With that said, three kids is enough. I'm going to get the &quot;little snip&quot; ASAP. Wish me luck.<br><br>Signed - Proud Papa in Texas<br><br>

Congratulations. It is great that both baby and mom are well. Thank God for that. As for the future; may she always bring you as much joy and pride as now, and may she always be loved as much as now.<br><br>Best wishes,<br><br>Peter

Re:It's a girl!

Rick,

Congratulations. Children are a blessing from God wasted on us when we are too young to realize what a miracle they are. Enjoy them yunguns. I sure enjoy my grandchildren. Did I ever tell you about them? Well, . . . hey, where did you go? ;D ;D

By the way, don't stop at three. You always have to do it in pairs. Two, four, six - - never one, three or five. Two will do great together, the third is the extra thumb - - always in the way of the other two. And it does not matter which the &quot;other two&quot; are - - it changes from moment to moment.

Congrats on the little Abigail, and don't worry about the snip thing. Had it done about 30 years ago and never regretted the decision.

Re:It's a girl!

Rick, Hoss, and HiredGun - congrats to you all! Like FiverBob said - children are a blessing that many loose sight of until later on when grandchildren arrive. Life is an incredible gift from God to us to give us hope and joy.

Re:It's a girl!

Congratulations RS-TX! As the other brothers have stated, children are a gift from God, not to keep, but only on loan. Enjoy them, spend time with them. Let them know that you love them. Don't be their friend, be their parent. They will love you for that. End of Sermon. ;D We stopped at two, but I guess that falls into FiverBob's plan. Ours always got along well. Still do, and they're 21 and 18.<br><br>DeWain

Re:It's a girl!

Hey, FiverBob didn't follow his plan - - that is why he &quot;speaks with sage wisdom&quot;. ;D ;D We had three wonderful children. The CFO wanted one more, but big daddy said no. Well, they were all great, but - - - - two (didn't matter what two) would gang up on the third one. Happened all the time. Guess I once again should have listened to the CFO. :'( <br><br>SlowLearnerBob

Congrats on the new addition. Kids are kinda addictive ... <br>We had 3 before I found out what causes them ;D. Then I decided that mom still had a free hour during the day so we adopted one more !!<br><br> Enjoy the little one ... my best to you and your wife.<br><br>PISTOL
