Early Father's Day Surprise

My wife and I welcomed our first little one at the beginning of the year, and she knew that I wanted to get a birth year watch that I could pass down when the time came. Through some type of wife witchcraft, she was able to procure a BLRO via AD. She was so excited she couldn't wait until June so I get a most unexpected present early. She set the bar pretty high, so this should be fun to try and beat

What a coincidence, I was sipping a great scotch the other day weighing out in my mind the concept of having a third child so I could score another watch... Well played!

Oh, yea... Congrats! :)
