I tell you, either I’m getting old or I’m just a light weight. I had a few students (who were at least 18 yr. old) buy me cigars to celebrate the new birth of my baby girl. And I’ll tell you, 3 puffs and I’m sick. I don’t know what happened to me. Back in college it was cool to have the occasional stogie, but I just can’t stomach it anymore. Ugh, I’m getting old.

Tristen’s birth also marks the end of an era. The Delony’s are off the baby making market. We’re done. Four babies before we were 30 was our goal and we’ve met it. It’s kind of a bittersweet time knowing that this will be the last one. All Tristen’s first will be our lasts as parents. But we’re also super excited to move on into a new stage of life and in our marriage. 30’s here we come!

  1. I’ve learned from experience that you have to have a very expensive cigar or your mouth will taste like a campfire.

    Congrats! I didn’t even have 1 until I was 30. :)

  2. Stuart,

    You are not getting old and cigars do taste bad. Enjoy little Tristen now while she is at this stage as a baby. Looking ahead there is the possibilities of grandchildren and then you and Miriam will be able to enjoy them even more. God bless you and Miriam to be the parents that your children will love as they grow up in life.

  3. Wow….4 kids before 30. Kudos to you two! I’m constantly amazed at the wide range of ages that people have babies. I’m at that age where my peers are starting to legitimately have babies (22), but I also have older friends who are having their first in their 40s. Personally, I’m aiming to be more like you guys, because I can’t imagine still having kids in the house after 50!
