Joy of Fatherhood

Okay… We had a number of great entries in the “ Princess Gracie Caption Contest ” as well as several that sucked like an atomic Hoover… (we won’t mention any names of course…*cough* DINANNA *cough*) Still, after hours of agonizing, deliberating, and seeking much counsel (plus a few minutes to actually read your entries…) We have a TIE!
