Posted By: <b>E, Daniel</b><p>Every day experiences are now magnified x 10, every kiss on his cheek swells your heart more than you knew was possible, every non-hunger based wail (its amazing but you actually get to know the difference <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>) wrenches that same heart so convulsively it feels torn asunder.<br />Here's to the mini-meals you'll feed your wife as she lies in bed desperately wanting to sleep at those surreal early morning feeds. My wife liked fruit, oatsquares, and hot cups of tea.<br /><br />My very best.<br /><br /><br />Daniel<br />

Posted By: <b>RC</b><p>Congratulations Jim!!<br /><br />Enjoy every moment, they seem to fly by.

Posted By: <b>Peter Thomas</b><p>Great news Jim. Get him started on vintage cards in 7 or 8 years. It, among other things, will keep you close for years. Chris and I started in mid 80's and still attend Nationals together. Off to Cleveland Wednesday and he is now 31.

Posted By: <b>Joe D.</b><p>diapers and such can get expensive....<br /><br />if you feel a need, I will take some of those ugly cards you have in your collection.<br /><br />purely to help you out of course. Because thats the type of guy I am.<br /><br />not sure why you would want to keep those horrible cards anyway - even if you didn't need the money.<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br /><br />(one of the coolest collections I have seen)
