I am thrilled to share that on the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God (New Year's Day), we were blessed with a little boy.

Finnian Patrick weighed 9 lbs 11 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long.

How sweet that your little baby was born on Mary's feast day! 3 of my little girls were born in May, Mary's month, and I felt that Mary was smiling on us when they were born, too!

Congratulations and welcome to the world, Finnian!
