Introducing the new kid on the block

Our most recent Grand Gaughter Miss Carly Blake Merklin, Born June 2nd 11:27pm. 8 lbs.10oz. 20.5"..
What a joy she is, I have already promised her unlimited trips out for ice cream and a electric go cart is in her future too~

Photo caption reads:

"Ok, so I was two weeks late, didn't want to ruffle any feathers and drop in during the Carlisle weekend. Hey, by the way...."Carly" ... "Carlisle" what's with that ?
Well here I am, spoil the crap out of me Poppy!"

ooooooooooooooo........she's a cutey!

Congratulations from the other new grampa.

Things are promising to be pretty busy this summer!

Congratulations from the other new Poppy too...you're so right things are going to get busy with the kiddies. Wind them up, spoil them rotten and give them back to the parents ~

It's grampa month isn't it? Congrats mate... both of you'se guize!

Woiw! It's "baby city" around the SOC.

Our oldest daughter who lives in Alexandria, VA is expecting in mid-July--it's a girl. She is very high in Delta Airlines and as lng as she works there Alice and I can have free air fare, first class, reserved space anywhere in the world. She is leaving Delta after the baby and we have until the end of Sept to use the flying benefit.

It's a good thing I didn't have to choose between an 8th grandchild or free flying!

I trust Alice will never see this post!!

Gag me with a frigging spoon....

Geez Vince, rumor has it you had your punching bag removed to get rid of your gag reflex.

At least that's what Gerd told me!

Congrats Alan.

Congrats, Alan!
Please pass our warmest thoughts to the new parents!
Cory and Teresa

Whoo-hoo another cuter 'n all get out papoose(?) added to the SOC flock. Good for you Dr. Clock and all the rest of the Merklin brood. Of course, you know this is going to be a match made -- if not in Heaven -- then at least in Gasoline Alley: 5-cent racing and the Sorcerer's (Merklin the Magician) Apprentice 20-something years from now. How we gonna keep those lines open?? And maybe Carly (Carlisle) Merklin gets to celebrate her first B-day at Carlisle next year. Makes sense to me.

Thank you all for the kind thiughts

I'm already working on it ! ~Alan

Hmmm... Kelly has a fine idea. I can see it now... Lucas Nichols and Carly Merklin celebrate their nuptuals at Carlisle 2032. I should still be around.

You mean that Gordon and I would be somehow related ?
NOT :) ~Alan

I like her name, but it's spelled incorrectly.

Thomas Francis Grubert, born 04/05/10 (a little early 'cause he thought tha the speedie was ready) is in my photo file as low tech g-daddy does not know how to post it, but they are all beautiful.

WHY YES WE DO

I don't know.....

When Chris was born, for a short while there he looked like an 800-year-old man.

Now, after several days of sleepless nights with Lucas, he's beginning to feel like an 800-year-old man!!!!!

Boy! Don't we have great-looking grandkids on the SOC??

Here's Thomas for you, George. What a cutey!:

Thanks! Gordo...maybe we can get some lessone as to how one posts?

Naw, I would realy be dangerous.

Regards,

GG

Something to look forward to...

Oh good Lord, if this turns into a cute-baby posting site, Theron really will need to buy another couple of terrabytes of disk space. Don't get me started . . .
