On Wednesday April 16th, Carmel and I welcomed Grace Catherine into the world. She is healthy and happy and the entire family is doing well. Life is truly a miracle and Grace is a strong reminder of that. She was born during a papal visit and shares the same birthday as Pope Benedict. Not a bad start!

Congrats! I can’t wait to see her. :D
For curiosities sake, I looked up what saints have April 16th as a memorial. One is St. Bernadette of Lourdes. Here is the rest.
Yes, Grace, your Aunt is a nerd. :)

Thanks for letting me know, Jennifer. I’d been clicking on Carmel’s and Jonathan’s blog for any news.
Congratulations, Jonathan and Carmel! Very cool to share a birthday with Pope Benedict and St. Bernadette’s feastday.
Welcome to the world Grace Catherine. May your life be filled with grace!
God bless and enjoy the baby. She’ll grow quickly. Enjoy each day. Take lots of pictures. Take naps when the baby sleeps. Hope you have a good rocking chair.
