Bric-A-Brac


My two oldest kids have a little more than usual in common these days.
In a lovely conversation with my daughter yesterday,she informed me that both herself,and my son's girlfriend are with child!
Yeppers,the Sling clan continues to flourish by leaps and bounds.
This time next year I will have 5 grand babies to keep track of.
I'm already blessed with 3 beautiful grand daughters,so I must confess that I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a little boy.Naturally,2 more healthy and happy little girls will be every bit as glorious!
Both the kids are celebrating birthdays this month.
JA turned 31 on Good Friday,and my son,MR,will be 26 on the 18th.

***In Other,Less Monumental News***

We got a brand new refrigerator!..(that's right kids,it's a slow news day)..
It's bigger,and delivers both cubed and crushed ice right through the door.Also comes with a cool little exterior night light to aid in those clandestine midnight munchie maneuvers.
***Yet Another Sunday Song About Going Home***
...Only this song makes me think,for many reasons,of the friends I've made right here in Bloggertown..You know,..in a totally macho sorta way
"Caledonia" Performed by the ever enchanting Lisa Kelly.

Oooh congratulations!!! Is it becoming a full house then? Perhaps you should've gotten a bigger fridge -- in case one of the kiddos misbehave (hehe!)

Congratualtions on the new grandbabies-to-be. That must be pretty exciting. I look forward to that some day. But not anytime soon!

Congratulations, Sling. Babies rock. Especially other people's babies.

And that fridge thing? Awesome.

You really have it bad for that Celtic girl, don't you?

Grandbabies are the absolute best...and new fridges are too. Ice selections, next you will be able to down load party music from your fridge to match the drinks served.

WooHoo Congratulations are indeed in order. My boys are still young but I look forward to my own entry into grandparenting so much, with the hopes of a granddaughter I figure having three I got good odds.
Cheers Cheers all around.

congratulations on the family and fridge! nice.

if it's too slow for you in the news today, here in chicago, there's plenty. my favorite story of the day: a teacher and principal just offered their resignations after a hidden video got leaked featuring the 2 en flagrante DURING SCHOOL HOURS...IN THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE. who in the hell was the camera man, the janitor?

Have I told ALL you guys lately how much you ROCK!..I shall be intruding on your blogs to harrass and annoy each of you by way of thanx! :)
P.S....
princess banter-Thanks for dropping by.Always nice to meet new people. :)

lorraine-Re: Celtic Girl..Are you kidding me!!..Look at her!...AND she can sing!..I'd work two jobs.

monica-Ummm...I don't suppose there's a link to that video?

Just do me a favor, Sling. Make sure your Celtic Woman isn't in the bar the same time Belinda is...remember what happened to Debbie Harry.

The Rube-Thanx buddy!..and hey,free pizza ain't nothin' to sneeze at!

lorraine-I can't he'p it!...My love for,..what's-her-name,..knows no bounds!

hey congrats on the babies .( or rather pass on the congrats to the ppl who did the 'hard' work .. lol)

and yeah have to agree with princee banter .. you ought to have bought a larger refrigerator, just to cool off the clan when things get too hot to handle .. :D

 
At 5:59 AM , Blogger Sling said...

raghav-Already passed on the kudos to the kiddies :)
Sadly,they're all living too far from me to have access to the new fridge..
Thanks a lot for visiting!

Sling, you huggable stud! You started a human factory when you came of age!

Keep it up ... well ... not literally. There comes a point when enough is enough, huh? Just teasing. :)

dan-No kidding huh..Damm kids breed like bunnies. ;)

Yay for more Slingbabies! That didn't sound right. Slinglets? OffSling?

I need to think some more on this one.

 
At 8:46 PM , Blogger Sling said...

JP-Any of those work for me buddy! ;)

I have 4 granddaughters..no grandsons...and wouldn't trade one of those lovely ladies for some boy..although I did want one..but you will never have the relationship with a grandson that you will have with those girls..trust me...it's way cool..
