Dodgy Loner

As some of you who frequent the Woodworking section have seen, I have been busy building child-sized rockers for past couple of months. On that thread, I mentioned that the first rocker I made was for my Dad, because "his grandkids seem to be multiplying lately".

What I failed to mention is that one of those grandchildren, due to enter this world on November 8 (one day after my birthday) will belong my wife and I.  8) 8) 8)

We just gave the cherry rocker - and the good news - to my in-laws for Mother's Day. Now that all of our family has formally been notified, I figured it was time for all of y'all to know. We are very excited and looking forward to meeting Little Loner. :)

My guess is that this child will have no shortage of pictures taken! :D

  The Bible says that children to a man are like arrows to a strong man.  Which means they are not much use till you shoot them away.  ;D ;D  Blessed will be you and your wife and when the nest is empty you will truly know what a blessing is.  Wes do like photos.

Never explain, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you any way.

I don' think that you "mislead" anyone, you just had to "time your telling" which was very understandable.    ;)

Congratulations to you and your bride.  What a wonderful way to celebrate your 1st anniversary knowing that you will be parents before the end of this year.

Thanks for now sharing this happy news with the "rest of your family".   :)

Dodgy, you had better make some chairs for your future children. When they come along you won't have time to make chairs.
Well Dodgy, the future child is on the way, get to work on a chair.

Thanks to all for the kind words and well-wishes. Everyone keeps telling me that my life will never be the same, so I just tell them that my life has never been the same ;D.

Yes, I just meant it as kind of a joke - as you noted, the title of the thread itself is misleading ;)

Thanks for the offer, Radar. Don't be surprised if we take you up on that! :)
