Default It's a BOY!!

Well, we found out what the baby is the other day, and I got a little boy coming in December! Technology is great these days! Ava wanted the name to start with the letter "A", so I suggested the name Arkus, I can tell you it didn't go over very well

So now I can plan around a new baby boy, I think Snap On makes baby tools as well

Congratulations from Amy and I!

Your life will never be the same!!

We just had our grandson (see avatar) overnight. He's a great little guy, but OMG it's tough caring for an infant. In fact, I took a nap between writing the first two sentences of this response.
