Congrats!  (good name too!  ;) )

That was my first thought!  ;D  Happy birthday, baby Elliott!

Thanks again all.

Just realized our the first initial of our names spell SHOE.  Scott, Holly, Olivia, and Elliott! 

We had Elliott picked out when my wife was pregnant with our first child, if it was a boy Elliott, if it was a girl Olivia.
Congrats!   :cheers:

Haha, because she is in the hospital still.  She has a blood condition, so they have to keep her 3 days. Gets released tomorrow morning.  At least it's a private room.  But man, going to the hospital back and forth twice a day, is no fun.

Congrats Scott! I really like Elliot too. Actually, Olivia and Elliot remind me of the lead detectives in Law and Order: SVU. Hopefully, that's okay. I liked that show! (at least when Elliot was still there. :))

Never thought of that... as I prefer the original Law & Order.  I like the court scenes.  But Olivia character from SVU is quite cute...

Thanks Julie..

Exams done, family is doing well, a client I regularly cut his lawn, just bought a gas station, wants me to do the lawn there as well.  Charged him the price of 4 houses!  Not a bad day...

Went outside with our 9 year old after homework was done and bounced on the trampoline with him for a while.  Seeing your kid having a good time is always a happy moment!

My favourite Chinese restaurant has re-opened after being closed for 56 days due to frozen pipes.

OMG the exact opposite happened to me today!  ;D  old guy in sebring cut in front of me, (he wanted to cut, so i let him in), he didn't wave, and looking at that sh1tty ass car made me pissed off!

Driving thrills makes my wallet lighter.. and therefore makes me faster because i'm shedding weight... :D
