I'm a dad!!!
« on: Dec 19, 2008, 10:56 AM »
Crazy stuff! My wife and I have been expecting twins for awhile. Well, a few days ago the twins decided it was time and out they came, a little early, but twins usually come early. One boy, one girl! Babies and wife are doing awesome. They already seem to have personality and both are tough little suckers (probably going to be ice fishermen  ;D). I think I've experienced some pretty cool things so far in life but nothing as cool as becoming a dad. Can't really describe it, but it's awesome!

Anyway, I might not be getting on the ice for a week or two so if you guys would be so kind as to catch one or two for me I'd REALLY appreciate it ;) I'll be checking in to see how you guys are doing!

Good luck out there and leave me a few for later!!!!!

MM

Huge congratulations Mountainman, as well as a huge Iceshanty Christmas wish for the children. I totally understand your excitement, having a matched set of my own (not twins).    Don

Congratulations MoutainMan! I'm glad everybody is safe/sound and healthy. Twins eh? Boy you've got your hands full. Take it from me, I'm 38 and been there 4 times already(I'm done :laugh:) Did you cut the cords? Did that twice. And yes it is an overwhelming feeling of joy when you hold them for the first time and just stare at them for hours. Once again congratulations to you and the Mrs. Happy birthday x2 :thumbsup:

Congrats MountainMan!  I too am a new father, only I screwed up bow hunting when my son came on Sept. 15th, instead of ice fishing.  Like I told my wife, after a few years she will have to come to the mountains to be with him on his Birthday!  Truly the most exciting, life changing experiance you can have, enjoy the two bundles of joy because they get big quick!!

Thanks so much for all the well wishes and congrats!
1Tigger, early congrats on being a grandpa!
Big Ice, the boy is about thirty seconds older. Guess he'll always have that to hang over his little sister's head.
Viciouscircle, congrats and good luck with that expected little one! It's going to be awesome. Be ready to imprint the sound of that baby crying for the first time on your mind.

Again, thanks everyone! Go catch some fish because I'm going to be living vicariously through you all for a few weeks (maybe not that long ;))!

Happy fishing,
MM
