Exclamation A Special Announcement

I just wanted to share the news with all my friends here on APC that today at 7:00PM local time my wife and I welcomed our sixth son into the world. Mom and baby are doing well and are expected to go home tomorrow.

I have suggested naming our new son DE727UPS after my oldest and best friend here. So far my wife is not too keen on the idea but I will keep trying.

Congratulations! You guys are like my sister - all sons. And I have to agree with your wife. If you are going to name him UPS, why not have FedEx as his middle name? Just go all out.

BTW, thanks for your PM. I might have my own special announcement of my own soon.

Default Thanks

Thanks for your comments. In my family there hasn't been a girl born in 121 years. Our oldest is 12. They are a good bunch.

Hopefully later today I will get to bring Mom and baby home. The name Donald is on the short list of possible names however over the last week it has been bumped down a few. As always I will campaign for my favorites but she usually picks in the end.
