Introducing our 4th child


Baby William, named after St William of Gellone, and his middle name is shared with his Godfather, Father and Grandfather 🙏

We are so in love with this calm and sweet boy! There’s always someone to hold him and this is likely the first time he’s been put down😅 we’re so happy he’s finally here!

He was born at home, after only 45 minutes of active labor! Glory to God! Enjoy these newborn pictures on his 6th day of life!
