Welcome Pax Gabriel Justice!

Pax Gabriel Justice was born just as the sun rose in the early hours of Tuesday, August 3rd.  His first name is the latin word for 'peace' and he has been an amazingly sweet and sensitive little baby.  I'm returning to teaching on Saturday Aug. 21 and will have lots of pictures for anyone interested.  Right now his favorite things are hiccupping, being outside on hot humid days, and sucking on his mom's fingers.  As you can see in the photo below, he knows he's the son of a yogini as he's already practicing his muddras...
