Congratulations! Hopefully I'm not too far behind you! (My son and daughter-in-law are 29. But I'm more grandpa aged at 58.)

Buy him a Harley and keep an eye on him and he'll follow in your foot steps!

Congrats!

Just became one myself (Paw Paw) in February. Your eyes will probably get all watery the first time you hold it... mine did.

Grandkids are even "mo' better" than kids!

Enjoy

Ain't nuthin better than grandkids! Mine is 9 years old and my best huntin/shootin/fisnin buddy. The absolutely best part is you get to get even with the kids for all that grey hair they caused. You get to play with the grandkid, spoil it rotten, get it on a sugar high and SEND IT HOME!
