The Bonny Blue House Gets "Blue-er"...

With the arrival of:

Brendan Michael

9lb. 2oz.

21- 1/2 "

Dad says he "looks great" and has curly blonde hair.

Mother is still in recovery and all is well.

Praise God! And Welcome to Brendan.

Congratulations Mary Ellen and Dave!

Also, I ask your prayers of thanksgiving for the wisdom bestowed upon Mary Ellen's Dr., the only pro-life OB on Long Island. His prudent judgement and compassion for Mary Ellen throughout her pregnancy have been amazing. May God continue to bless Dr. Scanlon in his pro-life work and in his medical practice!
