Falko 0 #1 December 17, 2005 My brother in law called me today: My sister gave birth to a gorgeous little girl today... Julia, 3000gr, 51cm. So I'm an uncle... I guess... that means !!! I feel the urge to cuddle & smoooooch... but she's some 6000 miles or so away in Atlanta. Will visit them in February though. So what do y'all think??? She's less than a day old but her eyes look like she knows it all already. Ich betrachte die Religion als Krankheit, als Quelle unnennbaren Elends für die menschliche Rasse. (Bertrand Russell, engl.

Lindercles 0 #3 December 17, 2005 I was a first time uncle 3 years ago (BEFORE i started skydiving), and am going to be one again in February. It's a special feeling. The first time I heard my nephew say "uncle mike" it brought tears to my eyes. Mine only lives an hour away, so i get to be a part of his life, and there's just nothing like it. congrats, you're in for a fun ride! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Falko 0 #6 December 17, 2005 Whow 2 minutes, 4 replies... I'm so excited, I wish I could be there!! QuoteShes beautiful... spoil her rotten thats what uncles are for I sure will... well, if I get to see her that often Don't think my sisters family is going to come back soon. They just moved to Atl 1 year ago. She won a green card in the lottery, and he's settled as a MBA (both german and US diploma and some more certs I cannot name... me is IT geek ). And now I probably will be the "I-have-an-uncle-in-Europe" type of uncle... *sniff* Ich betrachte die Religion als Krankheit, als Quelle unnennbaren Elends für die menschliche Rasse.

Falko 0 #8 December 17, 2005 If it's that exciting already to become an uncle, how much more must it be to become a dad???

Not even the overwhelming joy of the best skydive or anything else compares to the wonders of being a father. If your neice is in ATL, you can get good fares from the UK to ATL. Just watch for good rates. And if you travel for work like I do, save those frequent flier miles. Or, instead of jumping as much, sacrifice one jump here or there and put it to the "neice visit" fund. It's so worth it. I miss Lee. And JP. And Chris. And...

I live in Germany, there are a few good rates from Frankfurt also... you just need to book very early to get a really cheap flight. I think I should spend more of my skydiving holidays in GA or FL. gotta go, 3:30 AM over here... *yawn* Ich betrachte die Religion als Krankheit, als Quelle unnennbaren Elends für die menschliche Rasse.
