Yet another new Astros fan
« on: July 22, 2009, 03:45:09 pm »
Allison and I welcomed Gwendolyn Evette to the world of Astros fandom at about 6:30 this morning. I need a nap.
I love Geoff Leach.  Every day.

You'll need lots of naps.  It's awesome.

Congrats to you both.
I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing AstroTurf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, torture of Bud Selig.

Actually, under 2 does not even require a ticket.

Thank you, everyone! She's absolutely beautiful and her daddy is completely smitten, just as I am.  She's currently in Geoff's arms watching tv as I type.  They make quite a pair and have made me have a permanent smile on my face.

Smitten?  She'll own him...  Congrats to you both.  Glad to see that mom, dad and Gwendolyn are doing well!

Congratulations on the new addition to your family. You'll never feel so scared and empowered (at the same time) as you do the first time she looks to you as her hero.
