Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I have been away--first sacrificing for Lent, and now basking in the sleepless glory of postpartum!

Please join us in praising God for the safe delivery of our beautiful baby boy, Elias! He was born April 18 at 4:48 in the morning. He weighed in at 8 lbs., 14 oz. and measured 20 1/2 inches long. He is absolutely beautiful and a champion eater.    What a wonderful blessing to round out the Easter octave!

We are just so thankful for God's provision in the delivery and for this healthy little one who has added a whole new dimension to our family. Thank you for all of your prayers during this pregnancy! You and your intentions are a very close to our hearts!

May God bless you richly this Easter season.
