    congrats dave that's really nice news. My kids love their grandparents, they spoil them rotten. They would pick their grandparents over us any day

    Hey someone's gotta straighten them out right, i guess I'll be playing the same game with their kids. I like the white noise idea too

    Congratulations Grandpa
    Nothing like a Sr-2 rig providing the white noise to keep them sleeping ... twins deserve twins
    All the best to your daughter and the rest of your now bigger family.

    I was thinking grandfather but, great grandfather by now....LMAO.

    Congrats Dave and family.

    Oh, and by the way, 3000 cfm Deltas should not be considered as white noise providers. You may want to step it down a little.

    Congrats and welcome to the grandpa club. I have 4. Spoil them when you can. I get back at my kids during Christmas. One present is super loud for pay back. BTW, your computer fund will shrink a bit but it's worth it. Congrats again.
    Now, go help your daughter and change a diaper!
    Remember how?
