I think that Hillary once said that she wished she had more children but it did not happen. So now a girl and a boy.

Hope mother and baby are doing fine.

..."Saint Aidan, a steadfast defender of Celtic practices against the imposition of Roman usage, was born in Ireland (then called Scotland) in the seventh century. As a monk of the monastery founded by St Columba (June 9) on the island of Iona, he was known for his strict asceticism.

....St Bede (May 27), in his ECCLESIASTICAL HISTORY OF THE ENGLISH PEOPLE praises Aidan for his humility and piety, recommending him as a model for other bishops and priests to follow. He was not attached to the things of this world, nor did he seek earthly treasures. Whenever he received gifts from the king or from rich men, he distributed them to the poor. On Wednesdays and Fridays he would fast from all food until the Ninth Hour (about 3 P.M.), except during the paschal season.".....

All their kids' middle names are "Clinton".

It's almost like George Foreman naming all his sons "George".

They want their joke back. Please don't do the George Carlin "I want Tony, Vinny, and Paulie" routine. It's embarrassing enough already.
