Thanks for the well wishes

| Posted in General Discussion on December 9, 2001 11:24am

Hello All,

Thanks so much for all the well wishes and words of wisdom.
We are doing fine and loving baby Buck so much, he is just to perfect.
He looks just like his dad when he was born – I know, I have my work cut out for me.
Jeff is giving him words of wisdom each day and yesterday’s was:
“Don’t buy cheap tools.”

We hope to be up and running with a new computer real soon.

Thanks to Pete the translator for posting.

Gotta go, I think I hear someone crying.

Cathy, Jeff & Corey

    Cathy,
    I think you better make it clear to Jeff right now that he's not supposed to cry when you're using the computer! Good luck , and enjoy your new baby boy.

            *Just wait...my little on is about to have a little one. And she and her momma (my SWIMBO) are try to decide what the little tyke should call me. It's sick, hearing them going through all the pet names they have heard other kiddies calling their grandfathers. They didn't like my idea of "Mr Ed" but what do I know?

            *OH MY GOSH, THE BUCKS HAD THEIR BABY, JAMES! THEY HAD A BOY!Congratulations! Just grow beautiful hair on the baby like Jeff's and maybe nobody will notice his face when he's older.How did things go, Cath? It seems like just yesterday you told us about being pregnant!

          7. Jeff_J._Buck | Dec 09, 2001 11:24pm | #11

            *Thanks for all the .....uhh.....compliments! We have to steal time on Corey's grampa's computer.....and the digital pics are hidden on here somewhere......we just gotta find them first! We'll post some as soon as we track them down. As you can tell......all's well at the Buck household. Life just a little adjusted.....not completely changed. We're even planning a "We had a baby party"......which now may be on New Yrs Eve....seeing as how we can provide the Baby New Years! Only difference this year......one of us will be sober and wearing a baby monitor! Like I've told everyone else.......this kid's tiny....he can't scare us much! And....he seems to not mean us harm anyways. Most of the time! Cath says thanks for all the well wishes. Jeff and Cathy........and Corey "the kid".
