    That came at 13 years old for us. They sent us without any money to the liquor store at the Cricket Shop. Never mind that we didn't even have licences to drive...

    Didn't have twins. And truth be told my wife took the brunt of the it when they were little little. But I remember being overwhelmed with my first one. Had an older guy at church tell me I just had to make it through the first 3 months. Then as it got closer to 3 months I noticed he started saying just make it past the first 6 months. I asked him about it and he just smiled like he didn't know what I was talking about. He didn't pull another switch at 6 months and truth is that after 6 months it got alot more fun. And it hasn't slowed down yet.

    And you're right about a boy and a dog Dave.

    It does indeed take forever to go anywhere or do anything.

    If you have a girl it doesn't get better as they get older. Me and the boy just stand by the truck wondering what is taking the girls so long.

    I keep telling him to get used to it. I make him stand there so as to prepare him for life.

    the key is to smile during these times and honestly appreciate the events. What you think is a "big deal" now will fade away....

    Good stuff
    Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.

    Until you volunteer to keep your sisters child.

    I've been reminded of the wake up call. That bone chilling scream.

    My sister and her husband are trying to keep their new born at home rather than stick her in a nursery while they work.

    It just so happened both of them were scheduled to work today, they are both nurses, and have been successful so far at bouncing her back and forth.

    My wife volunteered to watch my niece today for 12 hours! Well closer to 13 for travel time.

    I didn't forget, but as my usual morning routine kicked in, it wasn't on my mind.

    About 6 as I was starting to rise and shine and start the morning routine I hear this blood curdling scream, and my younger Rhodesian Ridgebacks go crazy. I went from half awake to awake in 1/100th of a second. Once I reconciled my own self that the rapture wasn't happening, I then turned to the Rhodesian Ridgeback that sleeps with me who was staring at me like something is wrong. I assured her it was ok, and we sunk back into our usual routine.

    Its something that you just adapt to and accept. You will appreciate it later in life, especially the part when you don't have to do it any more!!

    I don't think I heard that kid take a breath from the time she walked in until 5 min ago. Its' possible while I was in the shower, but I doubt it.

    At first we thought the RR startled her, but we are now thinking that it is being away from her house. She usually does fine with my wife so that is out.

    She is only 5 moths old.

    Hahah, I've got a 6 month old and there's already never a dull moment now that she's starting to crawl around! Thanks for letting me know what to look forward to in the near future, can't wait!

    I have a ton of photos of my youngest crawling in kennels. She use to love to get in them. It was like a big play pen. To a degree it was they were for RR. So they were rather larger kennels.

    I would never post the photos for fear of what some idiot would think, and then try to prosecute me for.

    I think life is great and there are funny moments just like the little boy pissing and this kernel pic. It is a shame we all have to think like this. My fir thought was some damn pedophile would be jacking off to the little boy.

    Its a shame society has come to that.

    I applaud you boys for having more nuts than me, by posting!
