Hey everyone Donica and Dave Frohmader are the proud new parents of a healthy baby girl, born early this morning. Congrats to the Frohmaders! Bully Job Donica and Dave!
Cheers
Terry Sorchy

Thanks, Terry!

Donica and I are both recovering from a very long day yesterday. She was having pains at 3:00 a.m. and we were to the hospital by 4:30 a.m.

I consider myself fortunate to be able to witness the birth of my second (and last) child. Baby came out at 8:20 a.m. nice and pink and chubby and healthy!

We named her Lillian Wanda Frohmader. Lillian was Donica's maternal grandmother's name (she passed away the year before we were married), and Wanda is my paternal grandmother's name (she is currently 92 and in an assisted living facility). She was 8 pounds 2 ounces and was 21 inches long and is already showing indications that she is going to be daddy's girl.

Adam got to meet his new baby sister yesterday afternoon and seems thrilled -- although I'm sure that novelty will wear off in time. Dawn Barker also stopped by the hospital yesterday evening and paid us all a visit and got the baby to eat a couple ounces of formula. Thanks Dawn!

Well, I got what I wanted -- one of each flavor. I owe my lovely wife a great debt of gratitude as she was content with just the one child and went through nine months of hell to give me another one! I consider myself truly blessed!




Thanks!

PS: You should be able to make it to Norskedahlen now right?

PPS: I hope you realize that the PS was just a joke. If you did show up at Norskedahlen I might have to kick your butt for not being home, not to mention that Donica would probably kick both of us.<br><br>Post edited by: Julius B, at: 2006/09/16 10:28

Well done and glad to hear all are healthy. Congratulations.

Gents,

This is wonderful news and I hope both Dave and Donica can get a little rest! Congratualtions and I will have to toast to health and wellness of the little one!

Kindest Regards,

Tom Klas

Congrats to the Frohmader family. I like how it turned out that Lily's birthday is September 14th and Adam's birthday is on September 15th. Good way to get all the parties out of the way at the same time. HeHeHe.

Congratulations to all 4 of you! Hope you start dragging the little ones out to get them addicted at a young age, like the Reinholzesses do.

Dave and Donica, congrats on the new addition to the family. Wishing you both many restful nights in the near future. Even if it's only one of you at a time:woohoo:

Robert Gobtop

Congrats, Dave and Donica! Really great to hear everyone is doing well!
Great Picture.

Hey proud parents,

This is truly wonderful news! Raise high your glasses,
gentlemen, and toast: health and happiness to the
newest member of our little family! Congrats, Dave
and Donica ~ now get what rest you can!

Yer comrade, messmate and most obedient servant,
Jim Schumann

Brad,

If I were able to make it to Norskedalen, that would leave poor Karl Pasch without a uniform... and I couldn't do that to him or my pards who'd have to gaze upon his nekkidness!

I'll have to take a rain check on this one!


Dave

Yeah, you are right. If Pasch were running around naked at an event he might have to join the Hoggs. Lilian is really cute, she must take after her mother. I love the hat. Do you think Donica would knit a bunch just like it for the guys in the ONV. It could be the official ONV camp hat.

LOL!

Donica doesn't knit, but I'm sure I can contact the hospital and drop in a request to the elderly ladies who knit these caps to make a bunch of extra-extra-EXTRA large ones!

Dave Frohmader

I really don't want to run around naked (what if people see me, and people do NOT want to see me). Dave, if you really want to come, well it's your uniform...... I can mooch off of someone else, or NOT be military. It is your call.

Karl,

You know Donica. Now you tell me how well it would fly if I told her I was going to Norskedalen.

You can borrow my stuff, pard. There will be another event next fall for me to go to.


Cheers!
