Posted By: Kevin CummingsYou think you can't afford cards now? Wait until they go to college and then get married. <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14> Still worth it! Congratulations!

Posted By: jay behrensThe mom definitely wants to know but none of the sonagrams have been conclusive. Johan isn't a bad name. It's German, so that's good <img src="/images/wink.gif" height=14 width=14> Denton would be a good choice for the other one. The mom has never seen Star Wars and I suggested Leia and Anikin if it was a boy and a girl. She liked until she figured out I was feeding her Star Wars name, lol. Jay I love pinatas.

Posted By: jay behrensNo wife in the picture. I'm not married. She's not my GF either. Just a good friend. She doesn't expect anything from me beyond being a father a to the kids. I don't think my Mom is too happy that I am having a kid out of wedlock. She'll probably get over it because she only has one grandkid and never really got spend much time with him. She'll get to spend a lot more time with these two. Jay I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.

Posted By: JoannYYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH0000000! Wow. I am so thrilled for you! Congratulations! I am smiling big about this one. Good for you. Twins. How about that. No matter whether boy(s) or girl(s), surely the names of Denton, Tyrus, Anson, Wright, Lajoie, Wagner, Walter, Addie, even Thorpe or Oakes (which I know would be favorites of yours) - any of them would make great middle names if Mom wants more mainstream first names. They all sound so distinguished as middle names. How about Alexander, Joy or Cartwright? The possibilities are endless if you want your current passion to be part of your future passions. I couldn't be happier for you. Congratulations. Joann

Posted By: Frank WakefieldCongrats... My twins are daughters, age 16. A joy. A pair of joys... Friend said, the great thing about daughters is that they're never too old to crawl up in your lap, hug you, kiss you, and tell you that they love you. Sons eventually get to a size and state that you don't really want 'em doing that stuff...

Posted By: jay behrensThanks to everyone. It's gonna be tough not being able to buy any cards for a long time. The mom knows about my addiction and actual understands it. She says that vintage baseball cards are perfectly acceptable baby shower gifts, but she gets to keep them to pay for their college <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> Jay I love pinatas.

Posted By: Tony AndreaCongratulations Jay. Will you now be trading in the Scion for a mini van soon?? Tony

Archive

07-22-2007, 10:12 AM

Posted By: jay behrensno way. The Scion stays. It may look small from the outside, but it's like Dr Who's tardis. The amount of room on the inside is amazing. It's the first vehicle I've owned that wasn't a 2 seat sports car where I had plenty legroom and headroom for me. I'm 6'3 250 and I've had 4 guys all roughly the same size in there with no room issues. Plenty of legroom for everyone, front and back. There just isn't a lot of cargo space you have 4 people in it, but I can live with given the gas mileage I get. Much better than that of a minivan. Jay I love pinatas.
