    Wow congrats Dooley and DR! That's a fine Irish name if ever I heard one, sure to grow up to be as strong as an ox ;)

    Best wishes to the new parents and new arrival!

    He is grandchild number 4. I have 3 grandsons and a granddaughter. Tom has the daughter, Erin and now a son Fintin. Erin was born on my youngest sister's birthday. Fintin was born on my next youngest sister's birthday. I have one more sister. What do you think? Should I suggest it? Fintin has a set of lungs. Tom was calling from the hospital and I could hear him crying away. Tom said he'd had a hard day. First he was born, then they gave him a shot and drew some blood and then they gave him a bath. He wanted to sleep and he was still being admired by a horde of Kirsten's relatives. Poor kid! dooley

    Congratulation on the new Grandson!. Now you will have to plan a trip over to see him and let him know who you are. You can finish his quilt and take it to him. Wannabe

    Congratulations. I didn't know you were a McPherson too! We don't have any boys to carry on the family name here, which always upsets my Dad.
