a couple weeks ago kate and i watched the movie  - marley and me#mce_temp_url#. we had both read the book and had a dog with a mind of his own for 5 years. the story is of a couple who gets a dog who is the worst dog in the world, and the (mis)adventures they have as their family grows. one thing the movie really harped on was that john grogan (the main character and narrator) was reluctantly a family man. he seemed envious of his friend who traveled the world covering flashy news stories, while he wrote a successful column and raised a family.

we have just been given a recent addition to our little fann clann, luke (or as i like to call him, sweet baby lou).  an i gotta tell you, i absolutely love being a family guy.  i love being married, love having kids and love being domestic.  i have no regrets having a family.  the funny thing to me is that john grogan and his wife planned having kids, and kate and i were not.  we thought that it would be the two of us.  both of our boys were oops babies, and they are the best oops in the world.

the best parenting advice i’ve ever gotten is that focusing on your marriage is the most important thing.  don’t let your kids slide ahead of your wife in regards to importance.  what about you?  what’s the single best piece of parenting advice your given or been given?
