Won a beautiful new Kayak on May 15th at the Gimme Shelter IV fishing tournament at Shelter Cove, and even more importantly made/strengthened friendships that I plan on keeping for the rest of my life.

Congrat on your second child.  Somehow I think you may have better month later this year as Halibut season just started  :smt003

Purely a chronological order Don!!!

We have been waiting until we were past the first two months to make it official...

The second child is DEFINITELY TOPS!!!!!!

On a bittersweet side note...on the way home from Shelter Cove, Ana got the call that her grandfather had passed...not unexpected and maybe a blessing given the advanced alzheimers he had and the nursing home he had been in for the past 6 years, but still extremely sad...

Today we planted a Fig Tree (his favorite fruit) in his honor and sprinkled his ashes in the hole...after the tree was planted we shared our good news with the rest of the family to make the event that much more special...circle of life happens!!

Sincerely,

Jim

I'm beginning to think...it ain't luck bro! You earned it.
Are you & Ana going to find out if it's a boy or girl? Or keep it a surprise?
Either way, Congrats!
