  1. Well it was a good run.

  5. the newest member of the Family

    Hello everyone haven't posted anything for a while been busy getting ready for our new arrival. On sat (the date on my camera is off by a day) my wife gave birth to healthy baby girl named Alexa Anne. Mom and baby are now home and both are doing great.
