    Default Big news!!!

    My son just told me, that around August or so, I should be a grandfather.

    Wow. I'll be the same age as my dad was at the birth of our eldest daughter.

    What goes around.

    The title has a nice ring to it - but I'll bet the benefits will be the bomb.

    Good for you, Pete! let the 'spoiling' begin....but first you have to gear-up. You'll need the 'Worlds #1 Grandpa' hat, the 'Let Me Tell You About My Grandkids' sweatshirt, the 'I'm a Grandpa' coffee mug.....

    Congrats!

    Congratulations, Pete, and make sure you find as much time as possible to enjoy your grandchildren. We have two grandsons, the younger one a senior in high school and the older one soon to graduate from gunsmith school. We missed out on a lot of their younger years because my job, via multiple acquisitions, moved us from Ohio to California for 15 years.

    Congrats on the news Pete. My little one's about 15 months now and my mom invents reasons to stop in as much as possible to see her. It's slightly amazing watching your parents get "mushy" with the baby. My guess is your children will enjoy watching as grandpa is making over the baby there as well.

    Take it easy
