On August 1st at 2:34am we welcomed into the fold a sweet and perfect baby boy, Vincent Louis. He weighed in at 6 pounds 6 ounces and 20 1/2 inches long.
Before he took his first breath of air, Peter and Maria had affectionately named him, "Gus." This name stuck rather well and was soon the intermediate name used by friends and family alike. Peter and I on the other hand, had a name for this boy buried deep in our hearts, Vincent... The Victor, Victorious.
Vincent has a special place in our family, because he is the first born after the loss of our son Heavy. To us, his name should reflect the significance of his birth order. While Vincent may seem like the obvious name choice once one knows the meaning, his name reflects so much more than just the birth of a healthy and whole baby boy, (a true Victorynonetheless). For our family it is a Victory of faith. That God is true to his promises. God does not promise that our lives will be easy, perfect, or void of suffering; rather he promises that he will never leave you and that he will provide a people (the church- that contains God's Holy Spirit) to walk life with you. Over the past two years God demonstrated his promises to us, as he and our community walked with us.
So in Jesus Name we declare Victory in the birth of Vincent and Victory in the Promises of God.
Please Join us in our Celebration and Joy!
Love, P, C, P, M and V
