1. Bea and Mike Paxson welcome daughter Beatrix Catherine Mae Paxson to the world on Tuesday. Lil’ Pax weighed in at 9 pounds, 12 ounces, and is 21 inches long.
2. Friend and hardcore player Bobby Delerme and his love Jen Grumbling welcomed new son Kaeden Michael Delerme into the world Monday evening. Because he’s a Delerme, Kaeden popped out and because the room was too cold, slapped a nurse. Mother and new son are doing just fine. Jen’s daughter Milla is looking forward to showing her new brother the ropes as time goes on. So long as those ropes don’t involve beating on “Uncle Furby”…it’s rough getting beat up by a 7 year old…
3. The Suicide Guys have a Tulsa, OK chapter: “The Tulsa County Suicide Guys, Oklahoma chapter is part of a network of paintball teams that work with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in order to advance suicide prevention services and help prevent further deaths. This organization has a lot of moral support and hopes that more players will jump on board with the concept. That being said, if you think you have what it takes to commit to an organization long term and grow with it, and you are looking to better yourself and the chapter, not looking for special benefits or handouts, then feel free to message me, and we can discuss further details.
