Speaking of Father's Day

Post by lundysd »

I just wanted to share with my dive community friends that I will be joining the ranks of fatherhood later this year. Our little boy is due around Thanksgiving later this year, and I can't wait :)

We found out roughly 12 hours before leaving for Fiji, so here's a little teaser shot from the beach.

Love the photo -- what a neat way of making an announcement!

I suggest you get a lot of diving in between now and then . . .

Congrats Scott. Also love the baby shoes in the pic. You'll have to add baby portraits to your portfolio now. :)

Thanks for the kind words everyone. We are super excited about this, and while it may curtail my diving to some degree, rest assured I will not give up on it! Also rest assured that I will be posting plenty of pics of the little squirt to Facebook :)

Congratulations. Love the picture. (I also love Fiji.) During my daddy years, I cut back on my diving to coach soccer, lead Scout trips, drive to music lessons, and so forth. No regrets. Now I see my sons going through the same. While I miss having them for dive buddies, my love for my grandkids trumps it all. My prayer is that your adventures in fatherhood will be as rewarding as mine have been.
