12 months sleepless nights and no nookie nookie

lol - you also forgot "less kiting"

I bought myself a s/h sup last week, within days after buying a paddle...so wasn't expecting anything.

But, I forgot that it's about the kids, so got 2 coffee mugs, each decorated by my 2 (primary school) kids, 3 stubby holders (can never have too many of those), a Darrell Lea bag and various home-made cards & pictures!!!

Spent yesterday windsurfing & sup'ing with mates & my 8yo son, paddling around in the harbour on a homemade board we got given to us, relaxing night with friends & a few ales last night, and just got back from a family stroll down the street, fish & chips lunch at beach playground, now kids & mum kicking back & I'm about to load up my gear for a sail - about 15-20kt cross-shore.

Very happy dad here! I'm not one for these 'commercial' type days, but a great weekend all the same.

Congradiulations Kite Dave!

Well actually he did, he made my wife so full of happy baby hormones she ok'd me to buy a Zephyr 17 last week. And he was so well behaved this morning she said "off you go and try it out.."

Yep, 1st. Wasn't too sure about the whole thing till he came out.. but now I think we'll keep
him

Congrats. It's a good feeling eh ?
Tip 1: Take heaps of stills and vids of bub - you can't take enough. You will appreciate them down the track.
Tip 2: Enjoy the "happy baby hormones" as they will run out soon. Lol.

Best wishes.

Well done Kiteboy and Missus, look forward to your 2AM posts when your up with bubs.

I'm trying not to picture you in bed, in your rashie with chocolate and your wife/partner/? you sick bastard

Congratulations kiteboy dave!

The first year or two be prepared to play second string to the missus as she loves him to death. Then they're fantastic for the next 5-6 years when they're innocent and completely trusting in you. Then they become older kids and eventually teenagers. You gotta keep your patience for maybe 10 years during that time until they become human again but it's fantastic watching them grow and develop. Eventually they become young humans and if you're lucky, good mates to boot.

Which all means you've still got the best ahead of you. Enjoy the ride!

Little Charlie thought you were all pretty cool congratulating him so he gave you a high five.

My son was born on Fathers Day 1987, 2.9.87

Congrats Kiteboy but just remember he'll disappoint you dearly when comes home one day and says he wants to be cool like the other kids & take up windsurfing

PS - great photo
