Waylon,
Please do not confuse the Birth of a Warrior with sangha members heart felt connection to the Vajradhara Thangka. These are really two very separate issues.
I think that Trungpa Rinpoche would be very disappointed with associating the birth of another grandchild to "updating and sprucing up the shrine room".
I do hope that the Thangka that was commissioned by him and blessed my many lineage holders of many traditions can remain where it was placed for many kalapas. I also hope that my children, grand children and great grand children can sit in front of this thangka and receive the same blessings as you and I have experienced.
On another note as a journalist it might be best not to take such a hard core stand on these issues. You may want to
investigate and report on what happened the day we as as a sangha closed on the PIC building - the roof almost blew off that night. I don`t think anything that Eva Wong might say can have anything to do with the sacredness of that evening and in particular where sacred objects should be placed. Trungpa Rinpoche knew (and still does) exactly what he was doing.
Cheerful Losar.
By this merit may all obtain omniscience
May it defeat the enemy, wrong doing
From the stormy waves of birth old age sickeness and death
From the oceans of samsara
May I free all beings
