7 years in the making! Our Adoption Story.

[OkieGirl]

Congratulations! He's beautiful! You both won't know what you ever did without him, or how you ever survived on that little an amount of sleep. Keep a camera handy (I'm sure when the Grandparents are around it will seem more like the paparazzi have landed than a family get together).

Congratulations to you and your wife.

Thank you for the kind word, stories, and well wishes! Decided to run out and buy the little guy his 1st 10/22 rifle tonight to give to him when the time is right that will contain the receipt dated on the day we brought him home to start our family. Ssssshh! Don't tell!

 

[GunSlinger]

I was officially christened last night. Fed him, and upon repositioning him discovered a rather large wet spot on my shirt. My wife thought is was hilarious too.

Congrats, enjoy the sheer joy mixed with complete exhaustion. Sounds like you're good on supplies but I have a ton of boy clothing if you need any.

Having kids will make a different person out of you and realign your priorities. Don't forget to get pictures with the Easter Bunny.

Congratulations and Welcome Thomas!

Congratulations on the Blessing you and your wife received.

I was going to suggest getting him an INGO lower and then adding components every year until he is old enough to help you assemble it, but you already beat me to it. A 10/22 is a great gun for a great young man.
