joanna

new addition to the fam! sweet baby joanna grace stroud. just love new nieces and nephews. my childhood just wouldn't have been the same without all of my crazy cousins, so i'm so thankful my kids are gettin' some crazy, too:-) so thanks bro & kristina. as you can see, chap was pretty excited about getting her hands on this baby.  very serious babysitter in training.

the other reason for our little weekend trip up to knoxville was my dad's surprise 70th bday party.  my mom worked wonders and really surprised him, which is a feat in and of itself, so the party was a huge success and i was so grateful to have been a part of it.  happy bday, dad. we all love love love ya. so thankful for the presence you have in all of our lives.
