    Default It's a boy

    Our first grandchild, born yesterday 20-4-09 at approx 9:30 PM . Weight 9 lb 1 oz or whatever that is in kilos, about 4 kg I think.

    Everybody, please meet Brock Thomas.

    Cheers
    Shorty

    Congratulations Grandpa Shorty and also to Brocks Mum and Dad

    9 lb 1 oz, Wow that is one big boy!!

    Your never too young to be a grandfather

    I have 3 grandsons and the oldest has just turned 8 and I am only 50 and I can imagine there are members that are young grandparents as well

    So you can never be too young !!

    I also feel sorry for the old pharts who are too old to play with their grandkids

    Congrats Shorty

    You know the worst thing about being a grandfather is that you have to sleep with a grandmother.

    My opinion is that one is never too young to be a grand-parent. Congratulations, and I hope all is well.

    It's not so bad, I'm 51 with three of the little rug-rats - think of them as growing apprentices.

    Congratulations.

    Shorty,

    Never to young to be a grandfather. A least at this point in time you'll remember their names.

    My grandaughter is 8. My daughter is 7(nearly 8) and my son is 3(nearly 4). I have a great time when the are all together. Just got to remember to turn the power off in the shed. (That's their play area)

    The one who is most proud is Great Grandfather (he's 84).
