Congratulations to Jeff Smith for being awarded the MVP in SQL Server!

I didn't hear it from him, but I have confirmation that it happened.

Thanks, everyone!! It is a great honor. Thank you to Tara especially for the nomination!

And guess what else -- the day after I found out about the MVP, I became a dad! My wife gave birth to little Benjamin Thomas Smith on Oct 2!!! Mom and baby are doing great...

Hard to imagine.
English is not my first language so writing good articles as Jeff is harder for me.

Indeed double congratulations, Jeff!

Although if I had to weigh them I'd have to put the vast majority on the birth of your son. You'll be Ben's MVP no matter what. (at least until adolescence hits - at which time you'll be on his twitlist. but that's ok - in 5 to 10 years he'll grow out of it and you'll regain your MVP status)

btw, I guess I never checked out your profile - You're still a pup yourself. For some reason I thought you were a geizer (like me). I guess all that wisdom pouring out gave me a false sense of [your] maturity :) Or perhaps your stats are 15 years out of date

Oh my goodness, absolutely!! I have barely had the time or even the thought of posting at SQLTeam or anywhere else the past few days, all I can think about is our new little guy!!
