Congratulations on the expectation of the new baby. My best wishes to the mother and upcoming newborn. I really wish them the best. And to you as the proud father... Also sounds like you have a good job and being close to family is a good thing.

When I was younger, because of work, I was for to move far away from everyone of my relatives.. Well they found me and followed me to that town, so I moved again. Already, they are filtering into this area of the state. I guess I better start looking in Alaska, but I have a sister there.

No really, it sounds like a great set up, and the additional family members will add a great deal of comfort to your wife and children. Its nice to have them around. (As long as they don't visit often and stay too long.. Cuts into my range time you know). Besides, hunting landand shooting places are a great thing. Way to score there!!!

Good luck. What part of Central MN are you going to be near. My father's side of the family was originally from the north western part of Minnesota up along Hwy 2 towards the Dakota's. There are still a bunch of in laws, and outlaws up in that area...
