Its A Hobby, Not A Habit

[mortonbriar]

Making Daughters is another hobby of mine, we just had our second, I am a very proud Papa and husband.
Our daughter Nieve Moana Morton was born March the 5th at 12:39am, weighing in at 7lb 2oz sporting a lovely little head of dark hair and a healthy set of lungs.
Nieve has a few different spellings, this is the one we decided in the end. It means bright or radiant one, it also means snow. So along with Moana it means to us 'Made by the ocean, born in the snow', as we lived in New Zealand up until a couple of months ago when we moved to Canada.
Hope you are all enjoying life as much as I am in this moment.

Isaac

Congratulations!!!!
The title was very misleading. I hope that people don't avoid seeing your daughter because they expected a debate over hobby and habit of smoking.

Congratulations and best wishes! Man, you sure do pick some expensive hobbies!

Well, you know what they say about books and judged covers, ha.

Hey, I didn't realize that you were in New Zealand. I have a bunch of friends there in our profession. I'll PM you.

Bought her a pipe yet?

Gosh no! I am one of those sensible parents that waits until the 2nd birthday to buy their daughter a pipe.

"Not a habit," Hmmm? Can you REALLY quit any time, or are you just TELLING yourself you can?
I'm just being silly. Seriously, congratulations on your beautiful little one!

ALRIGHT! I give in. I'm tired of the lies and pretending.
I'm addicted to buying pipes.

Those beautiful, beautiful sandblasted Billiards and Churchwardens. And Cobs. I'm addicted to Cobs too.

There's, just, sooo many possibilities, and sooo much tinkering you can do. *wide eyes with twitching face*
I want them ALL! GIVE ME THE PIPES! Muuuahahahaha!

peteguy!! :rofl:

Also congrats to the new parents. Kids, they're a real education to be sure. Enjoy!

Congratulations to you and your wife!
I will only offer 1 thing with a pipe analogy. Own one pipe and you're a smoker; own two pipes and you're a collector! :lol:
