Congratulations!!! He is soooooo cute!  May he grow in strength, wisdom, and grace before the Lord. May he enjoy the heavenly protection of Sts. John the Baptist, Andrew, John the Divine, and Vincent de Paul!

Dear Brad, The baby is just adorable. So is his sister... but then again, look at the parents. Have you noticed the amount of sevens? Seven lbs., seven onces, and twenty-one which is three times seven. I guess he is thrice blessed.  May he live up to all your expectations, and be a true blessing to our Lord.  Zenovia

Logos Teen Thank you all for your heartfelt blessings and good wishes. We are calling him Andrew. Although I'm sure he'll get Andy or Drew when he attends school. Our Greek friends are calling him Andrea Yannaki. I then added.. "Andrea Yannaki Poulaki" In humour of course ! Brad

Well, since 'poulaki' is a term of affection in Greek meaning 'sweet little bird', I think it fits! Actually, all the children I remember in school with my children that were named Andrew, were called Andrew. Atleast here on the East Coast of the U.S., the tendency to cut names has been discontinued. My daughter's name is Christiana and everyone called her by her full name rather than 'Chris' or 'Christi'. Fondly, Alice

Brad, dear friend, Congratulations to you and Jackie (and to Andrew's beautiful little sister as well ). May Andrew be healthy and happy for all of his life and bring great joy and pride to you, may God grant him many years, and may he know the children of his grandchildren's children. Neil
