While a few lucky individuals are going to be greeted with this Real Soon Now:

At 7:06am EDT Wednesday April 19th, I was greeted by this:

Can you guess which of us just did the equivalent of pushing a watermelon out of their bum? My wife is going to kill me if she finds out I posted this. So let's just keep this between you and me, OK?

He's come a month early so we're still narrowing down a name for him. So far we have: Atlas, Shader, Dif and Tim Aste.

Between Marble Blast Ultra and now babies, work on Constructor is really taking a beating. I suppose this latest development gets Matt off the hook for his public display of scheduling. :o)

And now we begin the onslaught of hallucinations brought on by the sleep deprivation of taking care of a two-and-a-half year old and a new born. Oh look, I just won the best dress award at the Oscars! I'd like to thank all the little people that made this possible...

Congratulations Dave. I suspect (as always) your team as produced a great product!
No wait... that doesn't sound right... or does it!?
Best wishes to you and yours!

hahahaha, although I think your wife would kill you for even suggesting it, then again going for "Tim Aste Wyand" might get you a lifetime subscription to the Tim Aste fan club ;)

Congratulations Dave - now quickly finish Constructor - because like me you will have absolutely no time for projects! I am currently working on a stasis time machine to get some time back while people are asleep ;-) But the 36 hour days are killing me :P

Congratulations, Dave and Mrs. Wyand!

I don't know why but seeing the pic made me think of that Dairy Queen commercial thats on tv right now.

I'm sure you already are, but turn the computer off and take some family time.
