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!!!
Congratulations !!!! (I Like Cigars ;))
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:

thats a handsome little dude! congratulations!
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.)
Grandpa was an elementary school janitor for most of his career, and loved it. He grew up during the Depression (people were already poor here, and used to doing for themselves.) He was the oldest son, and his father often had to travel far and wide to find work, so he was the man of the house.Quote:

Back when he could still hunt, he would never let a deer walk - buck, doe, or even Bambi with spots on his back and milk on his chin. I have known Grampa to to take home a 4" creek chub and fry it up. The many hates to waste or throw away anything - a trait that I inherited.
If you shot a deer and it was still kicking when you got to it, Grandpa wouldn't let you shoot it again - that would waste a bullet. One time when were kids we took a friend with us hunting - he was 12 or 13. He shot a deer through the hindquarters (that's all he saw of it). Instead of letting him shoot it again, Grandpa bashed it in the head with a rock repeated! (My brother says he was scarred for life.)
Grandpa is a tough, but tender old timer. When he was in his 50's, he could outrun all the kids on the playground and outwalk all the young bucks coon hunting. It is hard to see him so decrepit when I remember the days when he was Superman.
Most of what I know about the outdoors, I learned from my Dad. But most of what Dad knows, he learned from Grandpa. I hope Elijah is not just the fourth generation, but grows up to love the outdoors like his forefathers.
He sure is alert and bright eyed for a newborn. Looks like a month old kid right now.
Looks like you have some good backup there. I hope the women folk were clustered around the new mom too.
Supportive families can make raising kids a joy.
I'll never forget the first time my DIL called the house with the only grandson running a fever she could not bring down. My wife was in that car and on her way before the echo of the ringer died! 2am, she didn't care, Jack was sick! Time to be Granma. 'Course I was not going to let her go alone at 2am. You got to take care of your kin.
Granpa has some plans for that kid too. I can see it in his eyes. I predict fishing trips in the next few years.
Congratulations.
And may I say I am proud to be associated with stable young men like you, a supportive Christian father that will be there when the chips are down, even if i is only through the wires of cyberspace.
Thanks for sharing the info on your grandfather. We would not be here but for them. Their lives are no less interesting than ours and sometimes much more so.
Hey congrats Preach! Good looking kid, must get it from his mom's side huh?
Congratulations PTW.
