This is Lissa, hacking in to share the glorious, wonderful, marvelous news that Alice gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on Friday, February 6th.
Jude Gerard Gunther8 lbs 14 oz
Born shortly before 6 pm on Feb. 6th. (The "before 3 pm" that went out in the early bulletin on the day of his birth was not
exactly a mistake—it
was shortly before 3 pm here in the Pacific time zone when Alice called from the East Coast with the exciting news. Whoops!)
Isn't he beautiful? Alice and Jude are home now and doing well. This photo was taken on Alice's cell phone the day Jude was born; I'm sure Alice will treat us to more photos soon—along with the story of how the baby came to be named after St. Jude and St. Gerard. (
Here's a hint.)
Congratulations to all the Gunthers, and welcome, baby Jude!
