12. WOOHOO!

Way to go Rene and Cliff.

I like that name...Garrison. A kid can go places with that name. It's hard to think of anything that rhymes with it - so hard to use for childhood teasing. Sounds professional without sounding boring. I like it. :)

Congrats on the new addition. :party:

I'm new around here but am always happy to hear some good news for a change!

Now, fellow DUers, let's start making this world a better place for little Garrison! I'd like his first memory of George Bush to be something like "former President Bush indicted..." or something to that effect.
