Just thought I’d brighten the Christmas spirit and announce that my wife is pregnant (my 1st, her 3rd). The baby is due around July 10th! So with any luck, I’ll be attending the fish-in with a brand new flyfisher on board.
We don’t know what it’s going to be. I’m all for a surprise, she wants to decorate…I’m guessing she’s going to win, lol.
TT.
Congratulations to you and the missus.
That’s way cool Hugo. Congratulations and Merry Christmas. Looks like you both have the best gift ever. By the way, do you know why little boys can lay on their sides and little girls can’t?
TT,
Congrats!
You’re just months away from being wrapped around a little Miracle’s finger!
God Bless,
Mike
Congratulations!! My little boy is 6 years old, going on 16. Funny thing, I can’t remember what we did or what we worried about 6 years ago. 
I’ll bet you’ll be the same in a few years.
WOW TT
Congrats to you and Mrs TT, you are going to part of the Club now, What club you ask, The I did not get any sleep last night club…
This is the only way you will ever gain immortality, on this earthly plane - through your children… Enjoy them …
Congratulations to the lucky parents!
congrats. it’s good mom and baby are doin well
I can see him building the tip section of a Sevier 6’ 2/3 now.
Congrats!
Hugo,
Congratulations to you both. My daughter of 27 got married last April and attended her first Fish-In last September. Until she walked down the aisle at her weding she was my “little” girl. It was hard for me to picture her more than 5 or 6.
Oh, you know those funny film clips of Dad’s gagging at changing a diaper full of … Well, it’s true!! When the diaper is full, find something to do away from the house.

Specially when that diaper comes after a hearty meal of strained peas. And my wife wonders why I can’t eat guacamole.
Congratulations, Mr & Mrs TT!
Don’t sweat the dirty-diaper thing. I changed more than my share. I tell my kids there WILL be payback when I get to old to visit the toilet by myself.
Congratulations! What a great piece of news!!
Thanks everyone,
I had a patient ask if I was going to build a very small fly rod to have the first picture taken with it in it’s hands, lol. It’s tempting.
I have no idea why little boys can lie on their sides, and little girls can’t, so you’ll have to tell me.
I’m joining the local search and rescue team, so I’ll be having lots of call outs when the baby needs to be changed, lol. Just kidding of course, but I have a feeling it might be tempting every now and then.

Congratulations Poppa TT. Try and get as much sleep as you can between now and the arrival of your child. You’ll need it. My kids are now 5 and 6. I don’t know where the time went. They grow up so fast. My son is asking for a cell phone already.
Enjoy every minute of it.
Hugo,
I believe little boys can lay on their sides because they have kickstands. Just my $.02 worth.

Congrats to you and your wife. What an awesome gift to get one another for Christmas.
Kids are great; I wish I could have had 20 of them.
We loved a surprise too you could here me in the halls yelling from the room “NO WHAM ME, NO WHAM ME”. And it worked twice I didn’t get wham meed and its not like you can leave them there ya take what ya get with pleasure.
Oh and I decorated with Suzy Zoo. Spring yellows and greens with a nice Suzy Zoo border; maybe this will help.
Oh, and another thing if you get stuck on names try Lake Erie High Ball you don’t see too many of them running around playgrounds.
Seriously, I am very happy for you and your wife. I wish you and your family all the best there is to offer.
Respectfully,
Sean
Congratulations! Time to start looking at some new fishing equipment so you’re ready when the new one wants to go! 
Too funny Ron.
I’ve already got most of what I need to take the little one fishing with me…heck, if everything works out, I’ll have it at the fish in come July! Now that sounds like a good way to start a youngster out!
TT.
congrats!!!
