My last quiet Christmas for awhile

Gonna be a proud papa in July. At the age of 41, this will be my first. Amazing how differently I view everything. Christmas is going to be extra special next year.

Congrats, ghoopin!

Thanks fellas. Wife and I dated for 10 years before me finally deciding I wasn't getting any better looking and had best lock in. We got married in August and will have a child less than a year later. Wifey is 33 so she is very ready to be a mom. She has always been beautiful, but they take on a whole new beauty when they are having your child.
