    Congrats, big guy – she’s beautiful.

      Thanks buddy! She’s damn good too. Probably not my kid…

      Thanks Jac! She’s something special! BTW, saw pictures of the little man the other day, he is getting so big!

      • http://justkickinit.ca jacstar

        isn’t he? he’s crazy huge. 14 months, not walking, but he crawls like a champ. he’ll be walking soon. how’s the wife?

          Kat’s doing annoyingly well. Hardly looks like she had a kid yesterday. Enjoy the pre-walking moments, once they start cruising, all is lost :)

            Will do and when are you coming to NYC already?!?

          • http://justkickinit.ca jacstar

            lol when we have some dang money… which seems like never. we save up some cash then have a stupid bill come in, or an emergency surgery… or or or… effin list goes on

            I know what you mean, can’t even remember what a vacation feels like anymore.

          • http://justkickinit.ca jacstar

            having a baby is a vacation, or so that’s what people said to me when i got the year off for maternity leave lol

          • http://michaelschechter.me MSchechter

            The year!?! Wow, not a vacation, but an envious maternity leave!

          • http://justkickinit.ca jacstar

            that’s what we get in the great white north, you really should consider moving here.

          • http://michaelschechter.me MSchechter

            Between that and Steam Whistle… it’s tempting.

          • http://justkickinit.ca jacstar

            and Danny Brown… we have a Danny Brown here like no other ;-)

          • http://michaelschechter.me MSchechter

            and you were so close to convincing me to move… :)

          • http://justkickinit.ca jacstar

            haha c’mon! he’s one in a million. if nothing else, he’s pretty damn entertaining. and i need a book buddy… your wife fits the bill nicely

      Thanks Tinu, she is pretty darn adorable (note: I have a clear bias here). We are having lots of fun and little sleep :)

    Fantastic, Michael. Gorgeous lady! Enjoy it, time moves so quickly.

    Yes, this REALLY matters. Blink and she’s all grown up and you have to get on her calendar to have lunch.

    Congratulations!

      It really does happen all too fast. Seeing our newborn really makes us realize just how far our 3.5 year old has come! Hopefully both of them will find a way to occasionally pencil me in :)
