Our Baby

DSC_8514

Sebastian Job Amadeus

Born November 5th, 2013

10 lbs. 4 oz.

Baby and I had a rough go of it, but we are both doing well.

I have few words right now, but wish to thank you all for your prayers and well wishes.  They were needed and will always be treasured by me.

Love,

Ginny

    A blessing indeed! And he wasn’t on Halloween! 😉

    Thank God! Lord have mercy, over 10 lbs! Welcome young Sebastian! Same name as my godson; a very good strong name and a very courageous Saint is his! Will continue praying. The picture of him is so wonderful. Prayers for the first days and healing for you as Mother newly given birth. So sorry you both had a rough go; thank God that you and baby are both alive and well now; prayers, candles lit!!

    Ginny,
    I read your blog whenever you post-in the quiet evenings after the children are tucked in, it brings me comfort in seeing the beautiful ways in how you live out your faith by capturing God’s work through photography, knitting, being a wife and mother and so open to the gift of life in a growing family, well, it inspires me to say the least.
    Your new baby is precious. Prayers are coming from a Catholic mom in the Redwoods. Enjoy these early newborn days, exhaustion and all…they are fleeting. Saint Sebastian, patron of athletes and soldiers, pray for us!
    Rebecca
