Given how you lead a crowd made up from insolent, infatile, crazy, narcissistic nerds (dear reader, pick whatever suits you -- and do not forget, I am in that crowd, too) I am very sure this little fellow will have the best dad one could have.
As a father of a small family I can tell you. It changes your life completely. Not only because the number of free hours is drastically reduced, but more because you realize what is most important: making your children feel happy and protecting them against evil.
A quote to end: "When your children are healthy you have many wishes, when they get ill you only have one."
I just came across this post. Congratulations Dries and Karlijn. Notice my emphasis on and since almost everyone seems to giving Dries all the credit here.
One thing I've learned is that lost time happens in two waves. First you lose your "free" time to help take care of your baby. Then when that baby starts turning into a child you start losing your "computer time". My son is only 3 1/2 and already insists on checking his email (though he doesn't have an account)! I've learned early on to make sure I'm out of my Drupal administrative account before the boy begins pounding at the keyboard.
Proficiat Dries! :-)
March 6, 2007 - 11:45Wowsers, the little fellow seems to be waving and smiling towards the echo. Cool shot. Did you take the photo yourself? :-)
March 6, 2007 - 12:02As you can see, he/she clearly resembles his/her dad :-)
March 6, 2007 - 12:33About the 'dad-resemblance'... Of course he/she will get his/her own website. :-)
March 6, 2007 - 13:48And we all know what will power that site.
Congratulations. Are a true blessing.
March 6, 2007 - 16:56That's great news - congrats Dries and Karlijn!

March 6, 2007 - 14:13I've done lots of things, but the best thing I ever did was to become a Dad! It's lots of work, but I highly recommend it.
Congratulations to you both!!!

All right then, let's do another quote ... ;)
"While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about."
BTW: color prints sold out?
