And baby makes 12
With 10 kids, Patricia and Michael
MORELLI have their hands --
and vehicles -- full.
By John MINER, Free Press Reporter, Thurs., October 12, 2006
They have enough family members to field two basketball teams
-- and that isn't even counting the parents.
Patricia and Michael
MORELLI welcomed their 10th child last month.
Noah Bradley weighed in at eight pounds, two ounces.
"We always thought we would have six, then we had eight and now
we are at 10," Patricia said.
Their big family sometimes startles strangers who guess it must
be because the couple come from big families.
"My husband came from a family of two kids and I am from a family
of four kids, so you can't say it is family influence. Sometimes
I think our families think we are nuts," Patricia said.
The London family includes two sets of twins, which helped boost
their numbers. Their oldest is 15.
Michael is a teacher and Patricia babysits other children in
her home.
The big challenge for the
MORELLIs is getting their athletic
children to all of their sports, including hockey and basketball
this time of the year.
"In the summer, we had them all registered in soccer and it was
crazy," Patricia said. "It is just continual."
With their largest vehicle holding only eight, the
MORELLIs have
to take two vehicles when they go to church.
But most of the time they are heading in different directions
anyway, Patricia said.
The exception is at dinner, when they all sit down together,
she said.
"We do it every night -- everybody always asks us that."
Their latest arrival is healthy and a good sleeper.
"That was the problem, I had too many good sleepers, no colicky
ones," Patricia said.
As for the question will they have any more? The answer is maybe.
"I don't know, I am starting to get old, though," she said.

Baby girls take the New Year's lead
Nevaeh Strickland's arrival in London was the first in the region.
By John MINER,
Sun
Media,
Wed.,
January 2, 2008
The new year began as the Year of the Baby Girl in the London
region.
London's New Year's baby was a girl.
The first babies born in 2008 were also girls in Sarnia, Stratford
and Woodstock. Chatham broke up the streak with a baby boy.
By late last night, hospitals in Saint Thomas, Strathroy, Goderich
and Clinton were still waiting for their first arrival of the
year.
Born 24 minutes after midnight at Victoria Hospital and weighing
in at eight pounds, eight ounces, Nevaeh
STRICKLAND was the first
baby born in London.
Saint_Joseph's first arrival was at 2: 55 a.m.
Nevaeh, the daughter of Londoners Yvonne and Wayne
STRICKLAND,
was originally expected to arrive on Christmas Day.
That was part of the reason for her unique name -- heaven spelled
backwards, Yvonne said.
"I'm not sure where we first heard the name, but when I was told
it was heaven spelled backwards, I thought that was really cool,"
she said.
The STRICKLANDs had planned to celebrate New Year's Eve at home
with their five other children: Keegan, 18, Riley, 9, Carrington,
7, Jackson, 5, and Avery, 2.
"We weren't expecting this at all," said Yvonne.
Yesterday, the family gathered in Yvonne's room at Victoria Hospital
to get acquainted with their newest member.
Avery warned her siblings and grandmother to be sure to "be careful,
be careful" handling her sister.
Yvonne said she felt well enough to go home after Nevaeh was
born, but will take advantage of the extra day in hospital for
her and baby to rest up.
"It is a nice break," she said.
Makayla, the first child of Amanda and David
WHITEDUCK of Woodstock,
was born at 1: 29 a.m. at Woodstock General Hospital to be Oxford's
New Year's baby.
Like Nevaeh, Makayla was due on Christmas Day.
"She was just a little bit late," said Amanda.
At Stratford General Hospital, Clare Frances
McDADE was born
at 2: 30 a.m.
Sarnia's first baby of the year was born at 4: 26 a.m. at Bluewater
Health's Norman Street site.
Chatham's first baby, a boy yet unnamed, was born to Margaretha
and Peter KLASSON at 2 p.m.

He's been 100 years lucky
Oakville man credits Irish saint
Born in United Kingdom on St. Patrick's Day
By Bob MITCHELL, Staff Reporter, Page A16
Andy DIAFRATI has believed he's had the "luck of the Irish" all
of his life, even though he was born in Manchester, England.
Not only did he survive the deadly Spanish flu epidemic of 1918,
he also never lost his job during the Great Depression of the
1930s and escaped unscathed from the bombing of Britain in World
War II when he served as a volunteer air warden.
Yesterday,
DIAFRATI turned 100, and celebrated the occasion dressed
in green, as he has done most St. Patrick's Days for as long
as he can remember.
"St. Pat has always watched over me… I really believe he has,"
said DIAFRATI, who spent the day with family and enjoyed watching
Irish dancers perform at the Sunrise Assisted Living residence
in Oakville where he's lived for the past two years.
"My secret to long life is sensible eating, lots of exercise,
and being born on St. Patrick's Day," said
DIAFRATI, who used
an exercise bike daily until 85. "I never thought I'd make it.
I'm very grateful. It's amazing. I don't feel like I'm a hundred.
"Being born on St Patrick's Day has made me very lucky. When
I go to bed at night I always say a little prayer thanking God
for this day."
Leading a good life hasn't hurt either, he says.
"No fooling around and stay out of pubs. Don't drink a lot and
stay out of trouble,"
DIAFRATI advises. "I have a beer now and
again. Usually a Guinness once a week, but that's okay. And no
snacks in-between meals. Just breakfast, lunch and dinner… that's
it. And drink water and take a lot of vitamins."
DIAFRATI, who shook hands with Mickey Mouse at Disney World and
had his picture taken with an astronaut at Cape Kennedy when
he was 93, went on a Caribbean cruise at 90.
"I didn't go on Space Mountain at Disney World… for some reason
I suddenly became afraid of heights but I went on that pirate
ride," DIAFRATI said.
He even smoked a pipe until he was 80.
"I took up the pipe after I quit smoking cigarettes at 40 but
I actually never quit the pipe… my wife Rose threw it away when
I was in the hospital for a colitis operation," said
DIAFRATI,
who has three adult children, three grandchildren and several
great grandchildren
DIAFRATI retired for the second time at the age of 76 after spending
10 years managing a condo health club in Mississauga.
He initially retired at 65, working most of his adult life in
construction in Manchester, before he and his wife decided to
join a daughter and son here in 1972.
"My wife pestered me to retire at 76… kept saying it was time
to pack it in, so I did,"
DIAFRATI said. Rose, his wife of 55 years,
passed away 15 years ago from heart complications.
His mind still sharp,
DIAFRATI still remembers the "terrible
days" of the Spanish flu. "I was just 12 and a lot of people
were dying all around," he said. "I must have been immune to
it."
DIAFRATI used to do his own gardening, cut his own lawn, and
do his own cooking when he lived in his own home in Oakville,
until two years ago when he underwent a spinal chord operation.
He now uses a motorized scooter to get around.
