Aiden Joseph Snatchko

Pentecost/Mother's Day 2008 has turned out to be an especially blessed one for my family. Late this afternoon, my brother, Joe, and his wife, Erin, became parents for the first time -- to a boy!

Welcome to the party, Aiden Joseph. May the Holy Spirit always be your guide.

Aiden Joseph is my second nephew. He and my sister's son, Ethan John (age 4), are the first members of the fifth generation of my mother's family to be born in the United States.

In my father's family, "A.J." is great-grandchild #23.
