		<description>Michelle (@seeking_balance) is also expecting! Though not till Jan 1 2010. 

Our friend over in Victoria is also pregnant and expecting near Oct 16th! Which they have also asked Robyn and I to be the god parents. Pretty neat though not sure what that entails really...

I know I eventually want kids, and I am sure Raul you would be good around kids as you are great around the bigger kids! lol

		<description>Yeah, parenthood is awesome. I too wish I could get out and golf more, but most times when I have time to myself I just miss my son, so there you go. 

You&#039;re a natural around kids (ours sure seems to love you) so if you long to be a parenthood, go for it! I know you&#039;re not the kind of guy to let convention or even biology get in the way of growing a family if you choose to.

Or, you could just borrow ours when you need an ankle-biting accessory for an event, etc ;)

		<description>Agree with Arieanna...all kids need great Aunts and Uncles...

But yeah....parenthood means less beer and meetups fer sure!

I vaguely recall what a social life was...

I need to clean up my house so I can have more people over here..that is what we USED to do for a while..if you can&#039;t get out to the people..you bring em here!

		<description>It&#039;s true that being a parent does exclude you from getting out to many meetups, and I do get nostalgic about being able to head out for a round of golf without a second thought; but my kids are awesome, wouldn&#039;t trade any of it for the world.

And the world always needs more great aunts and uncles :)
