Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Nobody gets my gear, I gotta leave something behind for the kids to auction off on eBay.
Congrats Kilwag!
Good thing he’s goofy footed, or I’d say put him up for adoption.
From one “Simon Goofy Foot” to another… welcome little buddy! Congrats to the parents!
Yay! Super Good. Remember how it happened for next time. Enjoy staying up all night!
Way to go Randy (And Gretchen!) Nice Labor day huh? Simon says “Feed me”. Simon says, “Wipe me”. Simon says “Now get back to work!”

Congrats Randy and family! For the record, Goofy footed is referred to as “Good footed” or “G footed”.
Awesome!
Sorry I’m last,congrats! Thats the best man, Im goofy(footed) also! Ps:Baby poop doesnt start stinking until they eat solids…enjoy this while he’s newborn.

DADDA DADDA WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!” Enjoy that first 1.5 years, after that, your gonna have a new guilt. I have it. Thank god for my Freshpark QP in the garage or I wouldn’t even get a chance to skate. Oh CONGRATS on being a daddy, its the best gig in the world.
Congratulations to both of you!!! She’s So Cute! Good job!
Where are you guys getting “She” out of this?
It’s Simon, not Simone!
Great. 3 days out of the womb and the bigger kids are already calling him a pussy.
HA ha har har!
Way to go, how many of these things do you have now?!!
I kid, Simon is very tough and masculine looking.
At this rate, you’ll have like 8 before I get around to numero uno.
I’ve got two now, and no more. That’s it. I’m done!
congrats!!
Congratulations on the new addition!
