You can call me Grampa Mark (ME)

Came into this world 5-11-07 at 11:33 PM, weighing in at 7 lbs 9 Oz's and 19 inches long. Not an even number in the whole bunch. Mom and baby are doing great.

Got to go hone my child spoiling skills :-)

    Grandkids.........Nothing like 'em

    We're at 5 and counting..... going to Guatemala in a few weeks to pick up Elijah Steven Julio Yount, with his new parents, my daughter and son in law. Daugther #2 just announced that she's going to hatch another one right around deer season .......much to her husbands dismay.

    If this is your first Grandchild, welcome to the club and congrats in a big way! There is truly something special about seeing your children's children. It 's so fun to get them all wound up and then send 'em home with mom and dad.

    Enjoy!
  • Congrats Pop Pop

    Best get back to work...

    Shoes are probably going to be 1,000 dollars a pair when he takes up basketball:)

    might need to install a spill D T and water sensor on the, Eatherton Radiant hydronic modulating Crib avec sonic dampening , user interface:)

    Good Deal ...

    PJ probably is out there dreaming about the new efficiencies that can be garnered by solar integration Right Now :)


    Congratulations ....
  • Congrats Mark!

    Congratulations to you and your family Mark! Lynn and I will be sharing the same honor this Monday when my daughter delivers her twins. A boy and a girl and from the Ultrasound images she has sent they are indeed a handsome pair. I'll be off much of next week to go visit her and help out my Son-in-law with some last minute details with the house before she returns home with them. Enjoy your new addition.

    Welcome to

    the club, Gramps.

    I was out pitching to my oldest boy (of six total) to try and get him to stop that hitch in his swing. It'll be your turn soon so enjoy every step of the way.

    By the way, if you add all the dates and time together it comes to 102!!

    What wonderful news

    I'm creeping up to the age of possibilty myself. My oldest girl has paired up with a nice young man. I wouldnt be surprised if they start a family someday in the not too distant future. In the meantime I'll let you lead the way, Grandpa Mark. :) WW

    Congratulations!

    Enjoy him while he's "little", next thing you know, he'll be borrowing your tools, and asking for the car! You also will understand that bumper-sticker classic "If I had known grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them first!"
  • Thanks for the well wishes...

    Here's a picture of me and PJ having our first of many discussions about rangling wild trout up at XaniX Ranch...

    Hug your Grand Kids, if you've got em. If you don't have'em, get'em. Ain't nothing quite like it :-)

    With one on the way at hunting season,

    I can sympathize, Steve.

    At the same time, it's your SIL's fault. A good hunter knows when to hold his fire :)

    Congratulations on the exponentially expanding Ebels!

    I mean, no grandkids here, but just having the little ones around just changes everything and makes your brain work in a totally different direction.

    Enjoy it to the fullest and congrats!!!
