My wife and I welcomed Violet Maria into the world on 7/11/10 at 10:14 am. 7 pounds, 3 oz 19/12 inches long. I'll tell ya what I am just beside myself this is just unreal. Just wanted to share will all you fine people! I guess I won't be on the water anytime soon, but I couldn't care less right now.

Congrats Rockport! My little girls were born 23 and 20 years ago respectively. Fatherhood has its ups and downs but I wouldn't trade my too girls for anything you could imagine.

Enjoy every second. Time goes by faster than you'd think.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Congrats, there's really no way to describe the joy.

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

Congrats to you and your wife on the addition to the family! I love the name and that's a beautiful pic.
