What would we do without family and friends? Think about it. You go through graduations and religious milestones and marriages and births and all along the way – if you’re lucky – you have family. You have friends. You have people to celebrate with you.
Our people converged on Papa Joe’s (where I used to wait tables) last week to shower my wife and our future kids with gifts. We are eternally grateful and humbled by the generosity you bestow upon us.
Highlights:
This has Aunt Doll all over it. She’s good like that.
Cousin Dottie exclaims to Stacey while Aunt Karen looks on.
The sisters Doyle (Ruthie, not pictured, took the shot).
Mom, Aunt Kay and Stacey huddle up for a close one.
Friends Mel and Tiff – they’re nice and were very helpful to Stacey on this trip.

Woah, that looks heavy there Ms. Preggers.
