My Father is visiting his Grandson!

And he is not even bugging me that much!!! He flew in on Thursday night, and has actually been a real pleasure to be around. Genuinely emotional, and happy to see Tobin. I will post some multi generational Sincoff pictures tomorrow. I know, I know, we are due for some. I just would love to have one of Tobe, Dad and I. I mean that's 3 Generations of Sincoff males who can shoot craps moderately well!!

Friday was wack because I went to work at gnirreF, and by the time I got out of one pointless meeting, the company was cancelling the day already due to the snowfall!! So, no one has to tell me 2x, right? I jumped into our trusty car to go home to spend time w/ Tobe, Dad and Vicki. However, Vick calls saying that a breast pump was on hold for her at the Post Partum Place.

Of course I went to pick it up. Main Street from Madison into Chatham was a parking lot. This is how great a husband, and Dad I am: I parked my car in the snow at the CVS, and walked over a mile to get Vicki's breast pump!! How cool am I??? I hope that future Dad's and Husbands can come accross this blog at some point, and seek out my advice here!!

Dad also took us out for a great breakfast, and then we went to Toyota of Morristown to check out new cars. Regular visitors here will know that our Oldsmobile (or "OldsmoBuick" as Fletch would say) sucked balls, and died 2 weeks ago. Well, lo and behold, we went into the dealership, and did well. My Ma and Pa raised a really heavy handed Goniff, because I got us a decent lease price for a new Corolla!!

To top it off, I'm on my 2nd Jack Daniels & Ginger (for medicinal purposes), and we just saw a unique Holocaust Drama called The Counterfitters. It was totally gripping, it tells the tale about this Jewish con man in Berlin in the 1930's, of course he's a counterfitter, and runs a nightclub. Well the Nazi's come into power, and the "Final Solution" begins. He gets sent to a "special" camp to help with the German War Effort. I don't want to give away too much here. However, if you want to check out another side of the Holocaust, give this movie a chance. I think some of the performances were haunting. It also further adds to my extremely low opinion of Germany!! :-)

I want to leave you with this great picture. Look how much Tobin is copying his Daddy here!! All of that stressing about the Obama Campaign in utero can drive a newborn nuts, I tell ya!!

Tobin Samuel Sincoff Rocks like a Hurricane!!!

Sorry I have not posted in a few days. A certain handsome young lad has been requesting my presence!! :) In all seriousness, Tobin FINALLY arrived on December 4th @ 4:47pm. The shot you see above is literally his first moment in the world. The doctor leaned over to me and said, "Ok, Ethan, it's the 2 minute warning, get that camera ready!" Lo and Behold Tobin appeared.

The first couple of days were spent at St. Barnabas hospital in Livingston, NJ. The staff was wonderful, and they took great care of Mr. T, and Vicki. We got to go home as a family a week ago today!! Ironically, Tobin and I watched the Giants play lamely against the Philadelphia Eagles, and tonight we are watching the Giants blow a game against the Cowboys!! I've had the past week off of work, and it's been great helping Vicki a bit, and to immerse myself into fatherhood as much as possible.

Fatherhood is amazing. I wish Tobey would let his Ma and Pa sleep a little more at night, but hey; he is a night owl like his parents! In all seriousness, I feel asleep this afternoon in my reclining chair in the living room. Tobin was strapped into the baby carrier that I wear, with his head facing me, against my chest. It was pretty amazing. Eventually our breathing (snoring!?) became like one as we slept there. Pretty incredible.

I would be remiss to not give a shout out to Vicki's BFF, Aunt Kayly who came over from Harrisburg this past week. Kayly, thanks for the company, you were great!!!!

Thanks to various folks for all of their well wishes as well !!! Now, sadly, it is back to work tomorrow!!!
