Hi all!
After Redleg it's my turn!
I became a father, five hours ago and both my son Vincent and my wife Sandrine are alright. It was a long and sleepless night for us three, but also one we will never forget!
I'm looking forward to see my son build a lot of aircraft models. I know what I have to do for that!

Congrats Ted....afew years from now when you can get a good nights sleep it'll all be worth it...and of course the 1st time he says "dadda"! Note how I'm up at 3:23am here...the boy{18mos} has pink eye and feels the need to not sleep for some reason...so I'm not. Only 2 more hours till it's time to go to work, think I'll take the garbage out and head out to grab dounuts in alittle bit...hehehe.
Enjoy these times...they fly by quick...

CONGRATULATIONS Jean-Luc and Sandrine!
Keep a close eye on Vincent - I'm sure he's already got plans for some of the exotic kits in your stash!
All the best

Congratulations to the both of you.
A word of advice for when Vincent starts teething, keep all objects of value out of reach, otherwise they end up being chewed. I know this from experience. My 3 girls put teeth marks in several models and a few Cd's :-)8 :-)8 :-)8

Hi all!
Thank you again for your kind words!
And a very special THANK YOU to those who sent me a nice card from Telford! It was a really nice surprise for both Sandrine and myself. I wish I could have been there to see you all. Maybe next year... who knows.

P.S. Mal, I'll get him signed up of course!
