Welcome Alex!!

Kansas City Irish Fest executive director Keli O'Neill Wenzel and her husband John welcome brand new son Alexander Jean to their family today. The newest Irish Fest staff member weighs in at a healthy 7 lbs. and 20" long and shows incredible good judgment in waiting until the completion of Irish Fest to get born.

All of us at Irish Fest congratulate John, Keli, big brother Charlie and big sister Maley on the addition to the Wenzel family.

Happy birthday, Alex! We're glad you're here!

What a lucky young man. Being born into a wonderful family not to mention the extended family of all the Irish Festers. Oh, did I mention he is a fine looking lad too.

Congratulations

Yeah! The Trifecta! I always thought that having only two kids was for armatures (right, Jenny?).

Congrats!

Exactly, Shocko.
Three kids. Time to switch from man to man to zone defense! It's all good, but you are definitely outnumbered! Jenny

Three kids vs two kids no big deal. Add that fourth one and all hell breaks loose.

What a beautiful boy. Looking forward to seeing him run around the festival. Take time to enjoy the small things they go so quickly. He is a find looking little lad.

PS - Ed is correct, 4 is where all hell breaks loose.
But 6 grandkids is a little bit of heaven!
