Excellent summary of your experience as a father Robert! Your mother is thrilled for you and I am sure she and Maureen are discussing how wonderful this is for you and Shelly

🙏

Thanks so much, Barry.

Being a dad to these kids and a husband to Shelley is a lifelong dream come true.

I absolutely love this. Parenting is the most wonderful journey ever. Except maybe for grandparenting…which I am currently enjoying in person. Such a special Mother’s Day - with my firstborn and her 4 year old and 3 week old!

You are so lucky, Carolee.

My mom had a saying on her piano that "Grandchildren are God's gift for growing older."

So true. Of course, neither you or I are growing older.

Agree on all of your sentiments (especially the last one!) 😊

That's almost an Irish lullaby. Lovely, Bob.
