Updates on my builds slowing, at the least

Idk how popular my threads are, not that I even keep up with them much myself. But there probably won't be many updates, if any from me for a while. I had my first baby 3-30-15 at 9:29 am, 7lbs 1oz 19.5". Ora Lucia is her name. Plan is to get the 66 to where I can drive and move it around then stop building for a while so I can build my savings up more and spend time with my girl. I hope to get back to the 62 drag car before the year ends but we'll see.

Something you don't often overhear at a tire shop - "Sir, I can't mount this tire on your nice new shiny rim because there's a baby it it. "

Congratulations!!

Great-Grandma Laws was Ora Lea. G-Gma Williamson was Araminta- everyone called her "Mint".

congratulations!

Congrats! Babies are the exact reason I am just now able to slowly get started on my 64 project. My youngest just turned 1 a few months ago. Oh, and 3/30 is my birthday as well!

She's six months now, it's been crazy and I'm not the best with kids but I try. Still try to work on cars but not as much free time

I can't imagine that, I went back down to 40hr weeks and mom works more now so I have the baby more often.

this baby loves eating and can put it away too! she gets mad if you try to stop feeding her. i did pull the wheel back out, unfortunately there is still no tire on it, now she can sit in it.

How can it be quiet, you still have 3 more? I don't fall under the parent definition with just one, although my wife say I'm the oldest of her 2 children.

lol hard to pinpoint a answer on that but after 3 kids you really can't get any busier and you just get used to it so adding to the number is status quo
