| NEW ORLEANS -- Sherry, Vince and Gus welcomed a new member to their family this month as Marigny Lucille Heller made her debut. Weighing in at 9 lbs. 3 oz., little Marigny arrived just after 3 p.m. CST on Sept. 7 at Lakeside Hospital in Metairie, La. Marigny gets her name from Faubourg Marigny, a historic part of town in New Orleans below the |
| French Quarter, one of many "faubourgs" in town, a French term for suburb. Her middle name, Lucille, is in honor of Grandma, Florence Lucille Fuselier Scott. Uncle Magdi said he is greatly honored by the choice of names, as Marigny, according to him, is the female version of Magdi in Arabic. Marigny's big brother, Gus, showed little disappointment that Sherry and Vince didn't select his choice of names |
| for the new baby: Bald-headed Doughnut Baby Heller. However, he persists in calling her "Doughnut." Although she proved a little stubborn -- she showed up eight hours after labor was induced -- Marigny has undeniably good timing. Many family members, including Judy and Mick, and Magdi and Robbie, were in town on the big weekend for Joe Morales' wedding. While in town, they got a chance to see Marigny |
| before she even outgrew her knitted hospital cap. Contrary to reports, Daddy Vince, although undeniably manly, did not eat the afterbirth. |
