teenylittlemetalguy Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 My wife had our first son today. We are very tired and very happy. 9+lbs Eisen is the name we chose, it is German for iron. Hoping that helps him head in the right direction....8-) Is birthday #1 too soon for an anvil? ( Just kidding. I know hammers are more apropos ... Ha!) Hope to see you all at the next meeting if I can make it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinobi Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Congrats to you and your wife! And a fitting name as well, may it bring him the strength of its meaning through life :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gergely Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I wish you all the health and happiness you can bear :) ! Cool name for a tough little-future-metal-guy! And I think an anvil can make a perfect 1st bday gift - all kids love horseback riding games. All the bests for the new family!

Frosty Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Great news Tristan! I'm thinking Eisen started on a good note at 9lbs. it won't take him long before he's big enough to start swinging a hammer. And NO an anvil isn't inappropriate first B'day gift. If nothing else we can warm it up and belt his seat to it till he's tall enough to use it. Hope to see you at Pat's. Man, you put a BIG smile on my face. Great way to start the day! Frosty The Lucky.

ThomasPowers Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Shoot one of my daughters received an anvil from our friends for her 0th birthday; She was a 9#'r too.Congratulations! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swedefiddle Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Good Morning and congratulations, I hope all is Healthy. Sometimes people forget about the Parents, too!!!1 Our son received his first wrench, the day after he was born. It was a Snap-On 1/4" combination wrench. A gift from my friend who was a Snap-On dealer. It is still in his Tool Box, 32 years later!! Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 And when he gets to the age where he wants to complain about his name just tell him your other choice was Tubal and let him consider the joys of going through the school system with that moniker! (Tubal Cain, was on my name list for a boy but the wife said NO! and when we had girls wouldn't allow it either---that one would have probably left scars if she hadn't been tired out for labour---I could outrun her.)

K. Bryan Morgan Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I would like to but I'm out of state visiting the family in Carson City NV. I do plan on coming down for the spring one if my wife doesn't have any plans for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K. Bryan Morgan Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Actually it was for her work first at a leadership conference in AZ. Then we came to her family in Carson. Since my family is all gone, except my sister, it's really important to me that she sees hers as much as we can make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
