We are so happy to welcome our newest family member!
Sebastian Darcy Stringham was born July 18th! It took us a while to choose a name and we really wanted to wait and see him to make sure it was right. Sebastian comes from Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. Mark has played the part of Sebastian three times since we have been married. Sebastian is a very honorable man, a good brother, and lives life full of wonderment so we thought it would be perfect. I got to choose the middle name...and now I have my very own little Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. The future Miss Sebastian Darcy can thank me later for giving him such a romantic name. Hopefully he will too.
Here he is at the hospital the day he was born. We think he is pretty perfect. He is our first boy with dark brown hair and blue eyes! We love him so much already. The boys are so gentle and so happy to have him. And Dickens (the dog) even seems protective already. He is fitting right in around here and all my fears of how it would change our family dynamic have been put to rest!
Congratulations, he's beautiful!

I'm so glad your fears have been put to rest. I'm not surprised, though; he was coming into such a wonderful family that is full of love. He's definitely one of the handsomest newborns I've ever seen.
