Welcome to the world Amber Leona

UPDATE: Photos arrived.

Amber Leona was born on the 1st of September 2006 at around 6pm GMT to Denia and my brother Gareth (aka Jack).

No photo's as yet. I will post them as soon as I get them.

Amber is a fosil resin. Amber is considered to have healing properties in Chinese medicine and a wearer of Amber bracelets will experience improved health. Both Jessica and I wear amber bracelets to improve our health.

Leona is a French name, meaning 'like a lioness' or 'brave like a lioness'.

Amber leona is born in the Year of the Dog, which is one of the most likeable. Further as Amber Leona is born in Autumn, she will strongly bear the characteristics of the dog. She is also a Fire Dog which ties strongly with her name meaning that she will be extremely loyal, unselfish and courageous.

In the western Zodiac, she is Virgo.

Congratulations Denia and Gareth! and Good Health to Amber Leona.
