Newborn Has Bigger Guns Than Climber Father !!

Post by quicksilver »

Erin Thurston gave birth to a healthy baby boy this morning.
Elliot Porter Thurston weighed in at 8lbs. 13oz. and 21inches.
He came to us on the fourth anniversary of his Great Grandfathers passing.
He will be welcomed home by big brother Callum.
Although I have not met the little guy yet I suspect he already has bigger guns than Joshua. Probably going to be a trad climber like Granpa.
Boy do I feel old.
Congratulations Erin, Joshua and Callum.

Thanks everyone, I'll post some pics in just a day or two.


I love life.
Thanks Dad.
Oh man, he is messing that up. However, he is missing his left leg so that way would probably be harder for him. SCIN, just before spraying some beta for a climber doing a route the WRONG way.

Ah, but now you get to act all silly, make funny faces and noises, crawl around on the floor, play peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake...... and there is someone who will admire and love you for it! Bang-a-rang! You're one of us!
What I love about running is you can meditate while running. It's a peaceful place.
