Anthony Jacob Jansen was born at our house at 3:45am today. Making his debut into the world 6 days past his due date, and weighing 9 pounds [!], he is by far the biggest baby Jocelyn has birthed.
He is named for St. Anthony of Padua, whose intercession we seem to call upon daily to help us find lost things around the house, and St. James the Greater, who is my Confirmation patron.
His three sisters and brother are thrilled to have another boy in the family, as are his parents, of course. The biggest question that remains at this point is what we will call most often him: Anthony, Tony, or A.J. -- or perhaps Jacob, which his eldest sister Teresa has already taken to calling him.
Time will tell. In the meantime, enjoy these pictures.
