Way to go buddy! Congrats on the new baby boy!
Any chance you'll raise the little guy right, and send him to a decent university (Texas Tech)!! :laugh:
Congrats and enjoy.
My one piece of advice is this: Let others help out. With our first, I was pretty set on us doing everything, guess my pride/stubborn ass got in the way. It wore us out, so with our last 2, we let people help out and it helped out tremendously. Having people watch him for even an hour or two, while you guys go do something, helps out more then you know.
I second that thought, Brandon!!! In retrospect - I really wish I would have "forced" my family to take the kids, rather than being so "prideful" and "stubborn".
As a grandparent - I often "insist" on taking my grandkids out of my kids hair, because I know now how truly bad it can be without that break. I'm getting that my kids don't quite yet get how valuable it is, but I'm hopeful some day they'll truly understand they needed that break...
I look at it a little differently. I like to give my grandkids a break from their overbearing , overprotective, pain in the ass parents.. Let 'em play with sticks, fire, bows and arrows, guns and explosives, just like I did. "We know grandpa, don't tell mommy and daddy" is the mantra around here.
Doc.
