Another Orthodox Christian!

Baptized into the Orthodox Church on Saturday Sept 7th, 2002.

Gabriel has an entirely different story to share than his older brother Declan on nearly all fronts. The second preganacy was a bit tougher on mom, leading up to a surprise caeserian section on Saturday after Gabriel basically told us he wasn't coming out any other way.

Unlike his older brother who's still in the 20th percentile, Gabriel was huge at birth, and had a full head of dark brown hair - even a set of great sideburns!

He's named after the Archangel Gabriel, and as one might guess, we certainly had a much easier time locating an icon of the Archangel Gabriel than we did with St Declan!

Other than that -- Gabe became the second grandson to the same set of aunts and grandparents on both the Sullivan and Wirnowski side of our family
