Announcing… Alexander James!

Hi Everyone, I know I am WAY behind in my posts, but I will just have to come back and do those a little later.  Right now, I have much more important news and photos to share … our new bundle of joy:  Alexander James Gingras.  He was born on June 12th, here in France and is absolutely perfect (in our eyes, at least).

Both Grandmas (or Mémé in French) were here for the auspicious occasion and have been an ongoing help the first week.

So, here he is:

This is an image about 5 minutes after he was born.

These next pictures are from his first day.  Mommy and Alexander HAD to match.  🙂

This is his first day in his new home.  He is dressed in a very chic  hat hand made by one of my French teachers in Washington DC, Ramata.

So, that will have to suffice for now.  Rest assured, I will be posting MANY more pictures in the coming days.

Until then…

–Jim

  2. Toutes mes félicitations! Merci d’avoir mis une photo d’Alexander avec mon bonnet! Ça me fait très plaisir! Il est adorable! Moi aussi, j’ai accouché le 24 Juin de ma fille Olivia Amandine. Je vous envoie très bientôt des photos.
    Bisous,
    Ramata

  3. What a lovely little boy here!!!!!!
    Congratulations to the parents and more again to Anna who’s made all of the job, isn’t it?
    Alexander is very very nice and he already had “les traits fins” on his face. I think all of the girls will fall when he’ll be teenager… Be carefull Jim and Anna, Alexander will be not a long time at home!
    I hope we’ll can organize a meeting enters Amandine and Alexander this august; maybe is it possible in Lançon de provence by Marin’s.
    See you

  4. Lois forwarded your announcement to me. Congratulations! He is so beautiful! That little boy is so blessed to have you two as his parents! I know that yours will be a very wonderful family and he will have many advantages that most parents can only dream of.

    I don’t know if you have heard my news. I retired on July 31, ’09 when CE was outsourced to a contractor. On August 15 I married an old friend who had been widowed for 1 1/2 years. His wife was a friend of mine, as well. I have moved to his home, a little town in Arkansas, and am learning to be a twosome for the first time in 25 years.

    We never know how life will change us, do we?

  5. Jim and Anna:
    Congratulations, a beautiful baby boy. June 12 was the day of my daughter Claire’s graduation party and your mother mailed us a note saying that she was heading to France for the impending birth — good thing she wasn’t at our party!
