I'd like to ask for prayers of Thanksgiving on the occasion of the birth of my daugher

Ailish Anne Newell

Born yesterday at 8:30pm yesterday

She is named after St. Elizabeth Ann Seaton, to whom my wife and I have a particular fondness

(for those unfamiliar with the Irish language, Ailish is Gaelic for 'Elizabeth', and my French Canadian wife likes Anne with an 'e')

May the Lord God, Giver of Life, guide this guide of His to the happiness of Faith

How wonderful - many prayers for all the family.

Lovely pics too !

May Our Blessed Lady, Mary ever virgin , Mother of us all keep you , your wife and little Ailish Anne in her most tender care.

[Just as a thought I always thought it was Eilis - all the Irish ones here spell it like that biggrin ]

Dear Brendan:


A glass of Rum and Bailey's Irish Cream for your daughter!

I got misty-eyed, remembering when my own baby girl (in between 2 sons) was born 20 years ago!

Where did those years go? Aahh, I'm just getting old.

Cheers; and enjoy your sleepless nights!

have fun not sleeping
If she's anything like her sister, she'll sleep pretty well.

My son on the other hand....

I'm generally of the opinion that daughters don't give you sleepless nights till their 16 biggrin

Jenny,

It's pronunced EYE-leesh

Again, Many thanks for our prayers and kind wishes..

In addition to this little 'blessing', may both she and her family receive many more. May your happiness continue for a thousand years!

Blessings!
