Two Guys on a Mission: Have a Baby, Renovate a Farm and Become the Best Dads.

[@shirleygraham6229]

I can understand your excitement about the baby pictures. Hope the young lady surrogate gets over the sickness period. It is usually temporary. A long trip and the dogs behaved wonderfully. It is lovely that you consider their comfort and exercise needs.

[@vangaze]

The sickness period was extensive and though but its a lot better now :) The dogs are always so brave traveling. when we (one of us) go back to the Netherland by car, we don't take brakes often but with the dogs we have to give them some breaks to run and do their things.

[@lundholmproduction]

Good luck to you both on becoming dads. Me and my husband went against all what was ok back then 1982. 2004 we finally both were dads to our daughter. It was 100% worth all the effort especially as we also are granddads to a teenager.

[@vangaze]

Oh congrats! That’s so great. Thanks so much! We are very excited.

[@rafa31370]

[@tomcat7525]

That was a long journey, driving while tired can be dangerous but you had the dogs to keep you alert. Your local village is so charming. Ah theres that chainsaw again 😆.

[@vangaze]

Yeah I was very careful. The moment I got a little bit tired I ate some sugar and I was fine again. The village is magnificent! Happy new year!

[@jacquesauger-hn6mc]

SUPERgood new for the baby , cant i ask what the goal whit the farm , self sufficent ? breding and herd of animals , perma culture just whant to now what the dream is ty for answering , when baby is due take care and happy new year whish you the best .

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks so much! Of course you can. We are going to renovate the house first. For us to live in. And after that we will renovate the sheds and build apartments in them! So we can rent them and make money that way :) we will tell more about the project in the upcoming vlogs! Happy new year!

[@peterabbott5929]

I love watching your videos because construction/renovation is interesting and you explain things to us. Most of all you both are inspiring, entertaining and you show you really care for each other, Love. Proud Gay Couple. Good job. Thank you.

[@vangaze]

Thanks for the kind words. We always try to explain what we are doing and why we are doing it but maybe it's not always clear. We try :) Take care.

[@johnsmith-pl9yb]

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks so much for your kind words. Great to have you with us on this journey!

[@ingridschutter9247]

Weer een mooie vlog en mooi weer daar. Hopelijk blijft t zo een poosje, kan al die modder beetje opdrogen. Super mooie foto van jullie baby❤. En fijn dat jullie ook de moeders niet vergeten. Simon, je bent echt heel voorzichtig geweest met bram z'n kerstcadeau😂😂. Heerlijk om ook de honden weer te zien genieten. Nog 1 dag alleen en dan zie je Bram weer. En de andere familieleden +poes😊😊 Een fijne avond en samen een mooie jaarwisseling. Voor 2024 heel veel moois en goeds gewenst.

[@vangaze]

Het is heerlijk hier. Maar ook daar is het een beetje zachter weer volgens mij. Ja heel fijn dat alles er zo goed uit ziet op de echo’s. Ja morgen avond is iedereen er weer :) Ik wens jou ook het allerbeste Ingrid! Goede jaarwisseling!

[@skandalon2617]

So happy you got to see your first ultrasound of your baby!! ❤🎉❤🎉 I love seeing all the beautiful scenery of your property.

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks! it was an unreal experience! Happy new year!

[@marleenschutter671]

Such good news on the ultrasound 😍 so sad you were separated again, but you’ll be back together soon! Always nice to see the dogs so happy ♥️

[@vangaze]

It was amazing to see our baby for the first time. But you know that feeling :) The dogs were soooo happy.

[@joelcole8950]

Baby and restoration! Busy life ahead, good luck on your adventures.❤

[@vangaze]

Haha it will be busy indeed. Thanks very much! Happy new year!

[@kennethrush9363]

Hi hope you got plenty rest after that long drive. Now you must get yourself warm so get your fire going sit down and dream how it going to look like when you have renovated your home and the baby arrives Congratulations will text again soon take care xxxxx

[@vangaze]

Thanks so much! We always try to have a good night sleep after a trip:) Take care.

[@lelandpeck4585]

Good driving, Simon. You must have really been very tired after that long drive from the Netherlands. How exciting to see the baby in the womb. I'm sure you'll be very happy when Bram gets back. I hope that this new year, will be the best one yet for you both.

[@AG-lv3sc]

Have a great week! so happy for you got to see the ultrasound....

[@vangaze]

Thanks, you too! Happy new year.

[@stuartdootson9309]

I never tire of watching you both! This week’s highlight - Simon admitting he has no idea about what to do with the new heating system other than follow Bram’s instructions! Thought the work on the path around the perimeter of the property looked great after you had tidied it Simon. Glad things are progressing well with the pregnancy and look forward to hearing more when you are ready. Can’t wait for next week!

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks so much! Haha it’s Bram his project. I wouldn’t dare to mess things up. Thanks! The walk feels much better now too. Have a great new year Stuart!

[@wilfredschutter9530]

Lekker je eigen dingen doen. Vanaf morgen weer luisteren naar Bram

[@wilfredschutter9530]

Super dat het goed gaat met de baby en ik hoop ook dat de draagmoeder zich beter gaat voelen.

[@vangaze]

Haha ik luister ook op afstand wel. Ja we hopen het ook!

[@NewBeRVer]

Please, if you don’t have an Amazon Wish List, set one up! I’d like to assist the both of you some way! Happy New Year!

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks! We don't have a wish list yet but we will definitely think about it! You can join our channel on the home page of our channel btw. Hope you have a great and healthy New Year!

[@russc2805]

Hi Simon and Bram…you both were beaming in the opening minutes of your vlog with the news of your child…such joy! Very happy for you. Loved the vlog and especially loved the French Baguette ornament ( bauble)…I will need to get one of those on my next visit to France to add to my Christmas ornaments of places visited. Happy New Year Bram and Simon…Thanks for making the vlogs of your adventures…a lot of hard work but very much appreciated! All the best for 2024!

[@vangaze]

Hi Russ, thanks so much. Becoming fathers is so exciting haha. The bauble is cool isn’t it! We wish you a very happy new year! Thanks for joining us.

[@retirement-adventures]

You are both wonderful with what you are doing.

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks so much!

[@chrisfinlay3274]

re-watching this vlog made me notice the care and reference you took unloading Brams new multi-tool from the van into the house 😊

[@chrisfinlay3274]

i meant reverence not reference 🤭

[@vangaze]

Haha it’s all love 😂 Did you also notice how Bram throws it on the countertop after unpacking…

[@chrisfinlay3274]

i did@@vangaze

[@tuneophilegym]

Just watch your vlog after your return from The Netherlands. Glad you made the trip home safely. I concur with your affinity for using a chainsaw. It gives one a good sense of accomplishment after completing the tasks at hand. Hope y'all have a Happy and productive New Year!! Jim from southeast Texas USA

[@vangaze]

Hi Jim! Haha chainsaws are the best. Thanks so much. Great to have you with us on this journey. Happy new year!

[@sebastian46808]

Hey you Guys, I've watched from the beginning and here is where I am up too. Congratulations. You live very close to me, I'm not to far from Chateau Biron a little further South. ❤

Hi guys, discovered your youtube channel over Christmas and have now successfully binge watched all your, vlogs very entertaining, great cinematography, Congratulations on becoming Dads, I am sure you will be great parents.. look forward to see how the Farm renovation proceeds. Wishing you a healthy and happy 2024. Robb Torremolinos Spain 🥰

[@vangaze]

Hi Robb! Ah thanks for the kind words. We hope we will be the best dads. A lot has to be done before the baby can come here so we have to get to work! Happy new year! Great to have you with us on this journey.

[@torrerobb2238]

You guys are pretty good at planning and work well together as a team from what I see but I think the pressure is on now as you have a lot to do so I wish you good luck and try not to rush things if you can help it, but I think you both enjoy a bit off pressure and a deadline to keep you focused.. xxx

[@vangaze]

I think a little bit of pressure isn’t bad for us indeed haha. Although we have no idea what we are facing. We just take it step by step. Thanks!

[@nicolemagielse2091]

Gefeliteerd, jullie stralen! Leuke vlogs, ik had al het een en ander gehoord van Wilfred. Succes met de renovatie en de beste wensen voor 2024.

Just found your channel and have to binge watch all your videos, love your energy guys! I am in similar situation only doing it alone. Just finished my house in CZ and waiting for the baby, still being on the beginning of first trimester. Would like to buy small summer house for renovation in Croatia later in life..

[@vangaze]

Ah thanks so much. hope you have fun with all the vlogs :) How cool is that! I can't see myself doing all this on my own, very impressive. Congrats for becoming a parent soon! So exciting. Take care.

[@chrisfinlay3274]

Great Vlog, thanks.

[@vangaze]

Thanks! Happy new year!

[@MrAjayz]

You both will be great dads.. something that was never possible in my generations as a gay couple (being gay then was illegal). ❤

[@vangaze]

We will definitely do our best! Thanks. It was a hell of a ride and crazy expensive but we are very happy it was possible. Tiny steps with big impacts. Happy new year!

[@oliverzybell9464]

A happy new year to the 4, almost 5 of you, Simon and Bram & family from Norway! Saw your vlog today, and see you have loads of work and driving 😊 So good luck with everything and looking forward for the next episode. Cheers and yes, we got even more snow, now 1 meter and very cold temperatures to arrive for the weekend of below -15 C to come 🥶⛄️ Oliver 🙋🏻‍♂️❤

Thanks so much! Happy new year! 1 meter snow is incredible haha. I saw it’s very very cold in the north. No skinny dipping I would say. Take care.

Hey guys, I'm really enjoying your videos. We're buying a place in Italy so it's cool to see other gay couples doing similar stuff. I'd love to see a bit of a video tour at some point

Hi! Thanks so much for letting us know. That’s so cool that you are buying a place in Italy. Is it going to be a renovation project too? Have a great new year!
