Welcome Alexandra

Alexandra is Born

Alexandra - A feminine form of Alexander, means
 "protector of man."

May the Lord indeed equip and use you to care and protect all Hisl children (sons of Adam and daughters of Eve) as you grow in wisdom and understanding of His Love.



Children are a gift from the LORD; they are a reward from him. Ps. 127:3



"There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilization—these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendours. This does not mean that we are to be perpetually solemn. We must play. But our merriment must be of that kind (and it is, in fact, the merriest kind) which exists between people who have, from the outset, taken each other seriously—no flippancy, no superiority, no presumption. And our charity must be a real and costly love, with deep feeling for the sins in spite of which we love the sinner—no mere tolerance or indulgence which parodies love as flippancy parodies merriment. Next to the Blessed Sacrament itself, your neighbour is the holiest object presented to your senses. If he is your Christian neighbour he is holy in almost the same way, for in him also Christ vere latitat—the glorifier and the glorified, Glory Himself, is truly hidden.” CSL


"Goodnight, my angel
Now it's time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me"BJ



VovoOpa and VovOma


and now to all our 
Children and Grandchildren
Ana, Pri, Adrita, Ruth
Bella, Benny, Lilly, Zeke, Lesky, Lexi


And to my greatest love and loving wife, mother and oma
 I sing

Parabens aos Pais e Avós. Que Deus abençoes a vida de Alexandra. Ela chega ao mundo como uma página em branco. Que o mundo não a manche. Que ela possa escrever, com a graça de Deus, lindas histórias, que sejam motivos de alegria a todos que fizerem parte de seu enredo, sobretudo para Deus. Que ela seja um lápis nas mãos de Deus.

Um abraço Carinhoso,

Cristina e Duque
