Well,
Back in late June I found out that I was going to be a dad. After the weight of the news settled in by October, my wife thought that dumping the s2k for a more practical car was in order. I agreed, provided that it was as fast as the s2k. I bought my second bmw, a 97 M3 4 door. It's a great car, although not as fun as my s2k.
Anyway I thought I would return and show off my new baby girl, as I've met some great s2k owners here (I think it was predecessor board), although I'm not sure if some of you regulars from early last year are still here.

Her name is Annabelle Elizabeth, was born on 2/22, weighed in at 7lbs 5oz, was 21" long, and is the first native Texan in both families. She is two days old in the pic, and already looks very different. I am so psyched. I still love cars, but she kind helps put things in perspective.
hasta,

Congratulations! There does come a time when life's pleasures reward us in other ways then cars! I guess yours came a little earlier then expected. Best wishes to you and your family and we'll be here when your ready to join back in the club.

Congratulations she is beautiful.
It shows that the Stook is only the 2nd best thing in life! I have been through the baby thing and they are now old enough to allow me to have a Stook - there is light at the end of the tunnel!

Congrats Jeff,
She looks beautiful. Alot of my coworkers are have had their firstborns within the last year. From what I've seen, it must be a wonderful feeling. Their "perspectives" have been realigned too. I wish you and your family a great future.
