Toad Hunter Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 hey all, I know you guys don't know me personally, as many of you all do each other. But I have the new father bug and have to share with anyone that will listen. I am proud to show off my new fishing buddy Liam Austin Dykes (my we "LAD"). He was born Sat. night around 630 pm and all was well until we noticed some jaundice and had to have him in the "tanning salon" for just over 24 hours . But he was finally able to come home with us and Natacia and I are just glowing. I think the only feeling that could match this is when I first hear him tell me "daddy I think I got one!" (even if its just a snag). And as long as he doesn't out fish me, he will be welcome in my boat any day. Thanx for letting my gloat and Hope everyone is enjoying the day as much as I have.

I kept saying to him fishing fishing fishing, but his first word was mmmmmum, Down the road if u ever have disagreements kepp to a minimum and resolve quickly, it goes to fast, our son is 17, I wish I could turn the clocks back to when he was 7, Cherish every day, all the best.

Then you better believe he's paying for gas Congrats to all of you, best time of your life, and a very special one.

Rattletrap2 Posted January 9, 2013 Report Share Posted January 9, 2013 Man, you have every right to be proud! Go ahead and gloat all you want. This board has always been about so much more than just "fishing". Everyone here takes an active interest in others lives, and that makes it so special. I personally am past the point of raising 3 wonderful adult Daughters ( all of whom I am extremely proud of!) and now I am moving on the the Grandchildren phase! It excites the hell out of me! LOL I can't wait to fish with my new Grandson. Even if he does not take an active interest in it, I will make sure he is exposed to fishing and gets the opportunity to see if he enjoys it. His Dad is an avid fisherman, so the little guy has a decent chance! Enjoy and congrats to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
