Just in case anyone missed it, and because it's fun to share news - harpersmion & hoshiadam are the parents o' Seth and wayferny & fox are the proud parents of David- both born last night. Why do I think these boys will be trouble?

Navajo Blessing for a
Newborn Child
"Today, we are blessed with a beautiful baby
May his feet be to the east
may his right hand be to the south
may his head be to the west
may his left hand be to the north
May he walk and dwell on Mother Earth peacefully
May he be blessed with precious, variegated stones
May he be blessed with fat sheep in variation
May he be blessed with respectful relatives and friends
May he be blessed with the essence of life in old age
May he be blessed with the source of happiness in beauty
We ask all these blessings with reverence and holiness
My Mother the Earth
My Father the Sky
My Sister the Sun
All is Peace
All is Beauty
All is Happiness
All is Harmony"
