your gonna wet yourself aint ya .......................... :)
3 days without sleep is gonna be hard on ya .
I take it this will be your first reunion. I have to tell you there ain't nothing like grandkids. You know Your project won't get done now as quick as it would have LOTS of time to the little guy. You got to take him everywhere and show him off. We got 16 and there just ain't time enough to go around. But I know you'll get/r done..Grandpa
Congrats and enjoy your time with him!
Yep Charlie it'll be the first time we will see him in person.
Seen him lots of time via Skype but I prefer to have those I love close to me, easier to hug them.
And the project can wait unless he & his dad feel like helping the "old guy" out...
first time , wow , no wonder grandpa is excited . once you get hold of him they wont get him back for a while i bet .
Your picture and the words just bring a smile to my face! I know everyone here is so happy for you! Glad to hear it's coming together for you!
Thanks for sharing with us! It gives us all a warm fuzzy feeling! 8-)
YEPPPPPERS shine, this grandpa is very excited.
My mother told me once that her dad really didn't care for my dad & was mad at my mom because there was such an age difference between them(18yrs) when the got married in 1950. Mom said all of that changed when we three kids came along. She said it changed him into a completely different person, I now understand what she was talking about. The closest thing I can compare it to is when Joe,Jr was born. I was a proud Father then & still am & will be just as proud of a grandfather. I will now know what my dad felt when us 3 kids had our kids & gave them grandchildren...joe
What great vibes I'm getting from this first face-to-face with the little grandson guy. I'm sure you will enjoy it so much! It (almost) makes me wish my own kids would start having kids so I can be a grand pa, too...but not to rush them too much.
In about 7hrs I will be picking up our Daughter in law Danielle and our Grandson Ayden after a LONG plane ride from Japan and a missed flight. Our son Joe had to fly back to N.Carolina to get debriefed or whatever anal probing the Marine's will do to him. His in-laws Paul and Cindy will be picking his up I do believe. They allowed Joe into their home when he first showed up some 8yrs ago on their doorstep w/their son Joshua and treated him like family. Cindy & Paul went so far as to allow our son to date their daughter but also allowed him to marry her. She puts a smile on Joe's face and we are so happy to have Danielle in our family. I only wished all four of us Grandparent's could be together when our kids & grandson arrive home after 3yrs of being overseas.
I'm so excited I think my wife tinkled herself, LMAO ?????????
Congrats and get ready for the "best" Gig you have ever done - - - - enjoy enjoy enjoy enjoy.
meller
Have one for me with your family Joe.. Love it.. Wanna see pix of the wide smile...
Don't let anything or anyone bring down the excitement of this special time for you, Joe! Like Emmett says, you're headed for the best of the best, welcoming that bright eye'd little guy into your home and your hearts. Make the most of every second as you make up for time lost while they've been in Japan!! Enjoy!
Nothing in the world just like this. Do enjoy the meet/reunion.
Well after having to take a way out of the way detour because of an accident I arrived at the airport 10 minutes late BUT I saw Danielle & Ayden as I came through the airport doors. Walked up to them we gave each other a HUGE HUG, I got to hold my grandson for the first time & of course he stole my heart w/his first smile & laugh.
Here they are at the truck after we gather all their stuff at. Denise & I am on cloud 9 at this moment....joe

AWESOME - - - - "They" are also very fortunate to have You and Denise in their lives - - - I think that some of us members are almost as excited as Y'all are. Blessings be upon you all, Em
That is great, Joe, he's a good looking kiddo. I know you will dote on him and do just what GrandPa's do - spoil them rotten; that's our job.
I remember well the first time I saw, and held my oldest Grandson. My Bride called at about 0200 and said congrats, "Grand Pa". My first reaction, even though we had had nine months to ponder the situation was "i ain't old enough to be a Grand Pa, I don't know if I like this." I hit the road an hour later. A nine hour drive, and I held him in my arms - I was done for; still am, seventeen plus years, and several more Grands later.
And here I am w/Pork Chop, lol that's what Joe,Jr calls him...joe

Great blue eyes!! Looks like he's well on the way to wrapping Grandpa around his pinky. Good for you!!
Yep, you are done for. ;););):D:cool:
10-4 "Pork Chop" won that War without even firing a shot and Joe instantly became a P.O.W.Quote:
