    I AM A GRANDPA (4 weeks early)
    Our first grandchild, Maria Eduarda, arrived today in Sao Paulo, Brazil at 10:30 Am CST. Mother and Daughter are doing very well, and will go home on Wednesday. Photos will follow shortly. :D :23: :thumbsup: I just hope she looks like her mom. :lol:

    Thanks Guys,
    I am trying to get my other stepson (Maria Eduarda's only uncle) to take some for me with his Pentax digital. Hopefully he will be able to pinch hit for me until I get to Sao Paulo in March, with my whole kit, plus about 100 rolls of film. :D Everyone will be sick of me when I return to the states n June. :lol: Seriously the daughter in law is a professional model in Sao Paulo, so the portraits should not suffer from a lack of good subjects. :D

    Congrats. Being a grandparent is sure a lot easier than being a parent.

    Cheers,

    Thanks guys,

    You have all heard "The Nevous New Father" jokes, well this one is true.

    When Rodrigo called us, we asked how Sabrina, and Maria Eduarda were doing he said fine everything is OK. The next question was "How Big is She?" he answered "Small what do you think she's just a baby", I then asked "How long is she and how much does she weigh" answer "I forgot to ask." :lol:
