I sure like the name Mace better than Mitt or Newt...he has MY vote!   :rofl;

Congratulations Sluff and family, he's a beautiful boy!  I have a frame on my desk with my grandkid's pictures in it that says "Grandkids fill a place in your heart you never knew was empty" and I find that very true and I bet you do too.

Welcome to the world of grandparents, it is wonderful. You love them, you spoil them, you spend money on them and in return you get unconditional love and loads of laughs. Congratulations.
