Post by blk lt awd »

hey all, hope all is well. just thought i'd share my joy with my astro/safari family as well. i've been lurking lately but mind has been very numb from lack of sleep to post anything worth while.

to make a long story short......i have a new baby boy.... :bounce: he is two weeks old today, healthy and happy. can't wait till he's able to hold a wrench..... :supz:
