What a busy week it has been! My son was born on Monday morning. He and Mama are doing well.
The kind of "survival" that I will be doing for a while is surviving a newborn! So far he has been really content. I just hope I can raise him with a fear of God and respect for the natural world.

Four Generations of Shockley Men
So much wisdom in that little face.
Congrats to all the Shockleys!!!

Congrats!!!!!! Four generations, that is awesome! You are very blessed.
Congrats!!!
What a grand Little Man, and congrats to the Mrs and all the Big Men!
He's a keeper for sure!! Glad all are doing okay and healthy. Congrats!!!!!!
Congratulations to everyone.
Fantastic!!!! But, did you have to include the photo of him with those grouchy old farts?:)
THat is a handsome lad, congratulations
Thanks, everyone. I have truly been blessed. I asked the Lord for a son "lest my father's name perish from the earth." This is the first (and will be the only) Shockley boy of the current generation. Now there will be Shockleys to trouble the earth for years to come!
I echo that concern. Surnames normally live for untold generations until no sons are born to parents. Then that limb of the genealogy tree dies. That's pretty sad to me. My youngest is expecting another child in August and I'm selfishly hoping for a boy for that very reason. We only have one grandson that carries our name right now.
Congratulations. When does he get his first knife?
Well, I was 4 years old when I started carrying a pocket knife, and he is going to be smarter than I was, so 3 or 3 1/2 ... Not sure how the wife will like it, though!Quote:

Okay, from left to right we have a bridge builder, a preacher, a loafer (for now), and what does that smart lookin' guy on the right do? (he ain't sayin' much and it looks like he has a big stick. Pretty smart in my book.)
Congratulations to you all!
Congratulations PTW!
Congratulations. A fine looking boy. :)
(Nice cap, too.)
