    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!

  • Congratulations to both of you!!! She’s So Cute! Good job!

  • Wait til the day you try to run out the door with your noisey keys, your skateboard, and she’s wailing like a banshee because your leaving her behind……here’s a preview ” WHA WHA WWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! 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.
