Hi allSome good news.
I have just returned from hospital where my wife has just given birth to
William Kyle Patrick Berrett
A little brother for Imogen.
As with Imogen, I helped deliver the baby which was fun. Interestingly William was born at 6.10 P.M. in the evening, Imogen at 6.15 P.M. in the evening and I myself was born at 6.00 P.M in the evening.
Just in time for the Early Bird session at the drive-in 
cheers Peter

Congratulations Peter, to you and your wife. That's great news.
Try your best to get some much needed sleep. I know first hand what your going through. My wife gave birth to our second son "Charles Wesley Floyd" on September 11, 2002. He was 7 lbs.-13oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long.
You'd be proud... as Wesley attended his first double feature at the Franklin Drive-In this past Friday night. Although he slept right through both movies, he was definetly the youngest patron in attendance that night.
Congrats again.... and by all means post some photos soon.

Congrats, and interestingly enough, my daughter was born at 6:09pm! Looks like that is "happy hour" for births. 
Samantha is also a good little moviegoer, before my free movie privelages were suspended she always screened the new movies on Wednesday/Thursday night with my wife Danielle and for the most part either slept through them or just needed to stand in the hall instead of being in the carrier for two hours. I would go off on a rant about the wonderful things to come at least in the next 6 months (that is the range of my knowledge thus far) but it sounds like you have already had a good round of first experiences with Imogen. Best wishes on her little brother!------------------

Congratulations Peter! As the father of nine ages 48 to 21 I can tell you that it's an awsome and rewarding responsibility. While I'm far from being a perfect father if I can ever be of any help feel free to drop me a line. ------------------

CONGRATULATIONS!! Boys are fun I have two of them 18 and 27..their birth times aren't anywhere near the same..however they share the same birthdate.... December 16th in 1974 & 1983 and my grand kids birthdays are December 27, 1996 and December 28, 1998. Needless to say I spend all year shopping for the month of December.

Congratulations Peter and family.I have given that side of things up and now collect grandchildren instead....is much easier on the nerves!
Got another one last weekend, a 10 year old as our No 2 son finally tied the knot with a lovely lass he had been going with for about 2 years.
Reception in our front garden and a house full of visitors made it a memorable occasion and we are finally getting back to normal... if there is such a thing.
Tally is now 4 grandkids and I have a 4yo trying to "help" me write this stuff right now... into absolutely everything.

As a father of four I give you big time congrats!!!I have one son age 12 and three girls, youngest age 7.
They are real gems.
We should get a children picture thread going.

Congratulations, Peter, from a father of 3 and a grandfather of 2.Lindsay is right, btw, grandchildren are a lot more fun.

cheers Peter

He's a grand little chap! Congratulations!Destined to be a projectionist!
Posted by Peter Berrett (Member # 672) on 10-06-2002, 05:45 AM:
Oh please no...Good occupation but you guys are not paid terribly well and by the time he grows up there are unlikely to be any projectionist positions left (sad but true). He can leave the projecting for home use.
On the other hand I wouldn't mind if he got a good job with Kodak's Digital department.
Failing that he can grow up to be a tax auditor like his father.
I might add that it is not until you have your own kids that you truly appreciate what is important in life. Compared to your own family, possessions are valueless.
cheers Peter

TAX AUDITER!Oh hello sir.
Congrats man
Posted by Christopher Duvall (Member # 284) on 10-07-2002, 03:38 AM:
Congrats to ya...I do not know about you, I know if I have had a rotten day at work just hearing my little girl say "Hi Daddy!" when I walk in the door makes it all better. Having a second kid on the way just seems to make life that much better. Enjoy it...
