Lets see if this worked. I know you are all on pins and needles. We had our dual citizenship bundle of joy this last weekend! (I wish it was that easy for us to get it!) Mom and little Felix are doing great, as is daddy. 7lbs8oz and 20.25in or for you metric people, like my MIL, 3.4kg and 51.4cm What a feeling! Im sure we will have some questions about citizenship and all that fun stuff soon. PS dodge pickup truck and mercury sable, Cessna coming soon... but i still prefer waking up with my wife.

All I'm saying is that this isn't about RUB vs. CABA. It's about how awesome our wives are as compared to many of the other women whom we've encountered. Trying to paint RUB women with one brush and

I never asked why you marry 'RUB women'. I presume you married Alla (ONE woman) for a myriad of reasons. Which you actually don't need to explain, but you won't understand that. But seriously...how d

"I want to take this opportunity to mention how thankful I am for an Obama re-election. The choice was clear. We cannot live in a country that treats homosexuals and women as second class citizens. Homosexuals deserve all of the rights and benefits of marriage that heterosexuals receive. Women deserve to be treated with respect and their salaries should not depend on their gender, but their quality of work. I am also thankful that the great, progressive state of California once again voted for the correct President. America is moving forward, and the direction is a positive one."

Congratulations. I hope mother and son are doing great since they had the hard part. As for Dad, he will probably come down to earth sometime next week.

Great news. :dance: :dance:
