<h2> Congrats JD, ya Crusty Old Coot, glad to hear the good news [img]smile.gif[/img] </h2>

Timber, he's been with his family obviously [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

Athough I've not had the pleasure of meeting you yet, I know from your lyrical alliteration (proud papa - pondscum!) I am going to enjoy reading your posts!

Congratulations on keeping the fine family line going.

Congrats to the whole clan!! There are fewer times in life that are sweeter :D

And on the epidural front, all I can say is God bless the person who came up with the idea! My wife had one with both kids, and it made it tremendously easier for her. And therefore, for me :D

Congratulations you crusty old gran-pappy. :D

<font color=orange>OH NO!!! Not another Crimson Tide Fan!!! What is this world coming too? I suppose now we'll be bombarded with stories about how she is doing this and how she is doing that... You know all, that proud Grandpa stuff... Well all I got to say is </font><font color=crimson>CONGRADULATIONS!!!</font><font color=orange>Lite one up for me! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img] </font>

Congradulations!!! Her name kind of remind me of the infamous B-17 "Memphis Belle" in WWII.

<font color="ff3399">Congratulations Mr. Harris!!! I'm sure little Laurette will be spoiled rotten [img]smile.gif[/img] </font>

<font color=lime>Congrats John! Babies everywhere...cool! Right on Grandpappy! </font>

Thanks everyone,
Unfortunitly I haven't got to see Miss Memphis much, The Lady Dorothy and Princess Meghan have been going to visit everyday leaving me to run the business. :( They get all the fun, the price of being the Alpha Male. I did get to go up and see Miss Memphis Father's Day :D :D :D :D :D When I Get the picture back I'll post them on Stealthy's site.

Sir T, I already got her a Bama Cheerleader outfit ;)

All the best sir! [img]graemlins/baby.gif[/img]

Congrats!!! Wow, there sure have been babies coming outta the woodwork lately!!! LOL
Enjoy that grandbaby of yours. Papa's and grandaughter's enjoy a special relationship. I'm 27, and my Papa is still my most favorite person in the whole world (shh, don't tell my boyfriend). In fact, when we thought he was dying a few years back, I went to Florida to stay by his hospital bed and the doctors told me that from the minute I arrived he did a complete 180, that I was the best medicine for him. That was the best compliment I had gotten in a long time.

<font color=orange>If I ever get the pleasure of meeting her as a little girl, I'm going to teach her how to sing ROCKY TOP! I'll be sure to tell her how much her Papaw loves that song! :D </font>

Dear Mr. Harris, Sir,

I bet Miss Memphis is absolutely beautiful! BTW, is there ever at which these fine southern gentlemen cease to be pondscum? I would think giving you a beautiful graddaughter would qualify. ;) *hugs*

Miss Reeka Ma'am,
Steve has graduated from pondscum, That's the deal marry one of my daughters and give me grandchildren and they get to graduate :D

That is fantastic.. an great pictures of the little memphis miss, John D. Congrats old timer! :D
