That’s awesome! Ours is now 7 months and is both a handful and a joy. Your life is about to change for the better. Give your wife lots of support and accept the fact that she might go a bit ‘crazy’ for a while. Spend as much time as possible with her and the little’ un. Good luck!

Congrats Gary -

My advice as a parent of 3 great kids…. Be consistent and do what you say you will do. That applies to everything from how you discipline to how your family has fun. And secondly, don’t count to three, it just gives them 2 seconds longer to deliberately disobey you

Yeah!! Hope you’re still reading these.

Many times I thought this announcement was coming.

My one piece of advice is to keep your marriage a priority while raising your child. It will take more work than ever before. Kids learn a great deal by how their parents relate to one another. It is the first model for relationships that they see.

I have 2 adopted kids 2 and 3.5 and have never been more fulfilled. I’m exhausted, but fulfilled. I am a stay at home dad while trying to keep my own business afloat.

All the best. From what I’ve seen, you will be a great dad.

Big Congrats! Great show! I love Italian syrah. QOTD: watch what you say around them, because they will repeat it. Usually at the worst time expected. lol

Congrats Gary V!!!

QOTD – Try to slow things down and enjoy every moment. As the father of a 3.5 year old and a 15 month toddler – life is whizzing by and it is scary how quickly it goes. You will LOVE it and I wish you and your wife the best!

QOTD – My one piece of advice for a new parent is to enjoy life. Kids can present you with a myriad of different stresses. Take time to enjoy your kids. They are only kids once. Show them everything. Take them to the zoo, the aquarium, the movies, the theatre, etc. They will hold onto those memories and you will get to witness the world through their eyes. I highly reccomend you watch “The Last Lecture” by Randy Pausch (http://cellarmuse.blogspot.com/2008/08/last-lecture.html) – A MUST SEE

5/31 – Wow… Congratulations. My Son was born on 5/21 last year. That is HUGE. I wish you and Lizzy all the best. Children bring you such happiness. I am very happy for you both.

Gary and Lizzy, CONGRATULATIONS on the Fantastic News!! I know you will be great parents, but the number 1 piece of advice is to teach them R-E-S-P-E-C-T. It’s disappointing at times to see the lack of VALUES, some people have today, but I’m certain your children won’t fall in that category.

Too bad the Terradalgo wine wasn’t available when you had the Gingerbread House Tasting. At least the “rabbit” wine made an appearance for the “pregnant” episode.

Gary! That’s great news. Best of luck on this new phase of life. Are you going to lay a case down for 21 years? What will it be?

QOTD: Be nice.

Congratulations.A kid is great news.

I believe that congratulations are in order – ?????????? ???! I wish you the best in this endeavor; not that you need it – I can’t imagine you being anything less than a spectacular father.

QOTD: Despite being secluded to the CKC, I would say that the best thing you could do for you kids is to be supportive in their exploits. Help them to do whatever brings THUNDER to their world – if only everyone did what made them happy for a living, and didn’t try to make a living to be happy.
