. . .In With the New

Will you please welcome - the next generation of the Anderson clan - weighing in at 10 lbs with bright red hair and hazel eyes - it's Sydney Lynn Anderson. Syd, as we call her, is the daughter of Joshua Anderson and Amanda Frank and is now 3 months old. Sydney was a beautiful surprise to all of us. And so announcements of her arrival were pending affirmation that Josh and Amanda were willing and able to raise her and give her a good home. Needless to say, they are committed and Syd has captured everyone's heart. And the family is also committed to helping any way we can - including having Syd come and stay with us this past week. Kristin and Tad retrieved past infant care skills and shared her for a few days while Josh and Amanda took a break.

So . . . lots more photos and updates to come. But wanted to share the beauty and joy of another new family member. Also wanted to let it be known that use of the "G-word" (grandpa) has not been fully assimilated or accepted. So please use it sparingly while I adjust.
