Welcoming Xander Francis! 

When you think you know EVERYTHING then you stumble on a 3 yr old documentary about "Bruderhof". 2 days later i'm still in the rabbit hole and now here. I'm shocked I have never heard about this sect. Congrats on the little man

Oh my word I love his little sounds! There is no greater gift from God than his love brought forth through a child. God bless your growing family .

Wishing all children could have this kind of care. Congrats on welcoming such a beautiful angel into the world. May he, like you, comtribute to a better world in his time. Many blessings from Malta.

He’s absolutely beautiful! What a blessing! 🙏🏻💜👼🏻✝️😇

May God bless Xander with a long and happy life!

He is lovely. When my final baby was found to be twins it was the happiest day of my life - imagine getting two at once.

Zander is a fish in Eurasia. Your Xander is quite a special blessing.

Awww...i love those little baby noises. Blessings! He is a sweetie!

How precious of you to share the blessing of your child. May your days be filled with love.

He's beautiful, Laura! Enjoy. Our second baby died from SIDS, it sadly affected my life so badly due to mental health problems. Make the most of every moment. I just adore babies! God bless you and your lovely family. Am loving learning all about your community, thank you for sharing so much!

An adorable child and what a beautiful name.

I first saw the video about how the 2 of you get to know each other and i hoped that your marrige would be blessed whit children,makes le happy to see that Xander is gifted ,may he be healthy in Jesus name,Amen

Congratulations the both of you what a precious blessing , so happy for your family bless you.

Congratulations! Babies are such a gift. He is precious!

Congratulations!!! My 7 year old grandson’s name is Xander James. It was a little more unique than what I would have chosen when I first heard it, but it totally grew on me & I quickly loved it. I find it doesn’t matter what one names their child, not everyone will like it, and that’s just fine. 😉 My Xander turns 8 in a few weeks & he’s such an amazing blessing, as I’m sure your Xander is to you and your family. God bless you all during this exciting time in your lives. ♥️

Congratulations! The name is wonderful! Your joy is contagious! He is beaitiful.

Congratulations for your beautiful son, Laura. Thx for sharing love like this

Thanks for a lovely presentation of a part of life at the Bruderhof. I live in Inverell NSW Australia. There is a community called Danthonia Bruderhof which my husband and myself have friends there. We are christians and enjoyed your lovely fresh presentation. May God Bless you both. Xander is a lovely name.

Congrats lovely you are glowing. What a beautiful baby and glad to see all your support. God bless xxx

He is so cuuuuute!!! Congratulations!! Xander sounds like a fab name, makes me think of a philosopher

Well done Laura for popping out another beautiful baby. Congratulations to you and all of your family..

Ohhhh... Dios les siga bendiciendo como familia. Que este niño del centenario crezca como discípulo de Jesús ❤️ Muchos saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

Love the shirt Chris!! Francis (along with John) is one of the male names on my father's side of the family

Such a Beautiful Boy!! Congratulations!!

Xander is a very blessed baby to have such wonderful parents!

Xander looks like his dad. Great name. Xander Parish, an amazing principal dancer with the Mariinsky Ballet!

Hi Laura, I noticed that you came from a large family with 7 children. I respect the Bruderhof because as members of an intentional community you have largely conquered the disease of consumerism that plagues so much of the world. However, I'm curious about how the Bruderhof thinks about having large families in light of global warming, resource depletion and the mass extinction of species currently in progress. Thank you so much for these videos!

God bless you and your family, such a beautiful blessing xx

He’s adorable! Congratulations!

Beautiful baby & beautiful family! Congratulations to you for becoming 4

Alexander is my brother’s second name - I like Xander too! He is a beautiful baby. God bless you all! ❤️🇨🇦

I think what you name your baby is your business. Love that you gave him a family name to connect you all. Congratulations!!

Congratulations to both of you. Lovely child

Congratulations ! He is beautiful! I loved how you shared the gift of community and the importance of it💜

Congratulations on your new little one, Xander Francis! I'm delighted to hear you mention St. Francis. My late husband, Gus, was a Franciscan Brother of Brooklyn for 25 years.

Beautiful. My son is 22 mos. had the same onesie when he was that age 🥰🥰

Dear Laura, oal the best to Xander Francis, to you and your family too

Am so happy you are being treated so well and getting to have time to enjoy your beautiful new baby. 👶👦

He is beautiful! I love his name. If we all had more faith the world would be a better place. I have a rare autoimmune disease. So I can not go to church right now in person. It is to dangerous being near other people . I miss it so much. Even our tiny little church. I just watched a documentary on living Bruderhof very interesting. Looks like a peaceful fulfilled way to live.

“”I decided I’d rather lie about the miracle of birth to my son to hopefully inspire faith in him’’ the basis of all religion, lying to inspire faith. Way to go.

Congrats he’s such a cutie 🙏🏻

Blessings to your family, praying for your continued good health and happiness.

Wonderful news, a beautiful name, he is so cute, congratulations, a really great and fun surprise, thank you, thank you.

I am not a believer. But I was raised by good parents. Along the way though life I have learned many things. I just came across a few of you'll video's. You guys have a beautiful family. Look very happy. And I am sure the world is a better place because it has you guys in it.

What a beautiful blessing. God is good.

Wow! God gave you a baby! So wonderful! Congratulations!

Is child care a job assigned? Is a working Momma able to still nurse her baby if she chooses after maternity leave ends?

Congratulations on your newest arrival. How exciting for you.

I have a grandson named Xander Cade. He is amazing little man. My daughter and I looked up names in older generations, it totally fits him! Congratulations on your Xander! He is precious! 😍

Such a sweet Godly couple. God bless you and your lovely family 🙏✝️❤️🎻

He is so cute... Congratulations Laura...may the lord bless your family abundantly...

Congratulations on this wonderful blessing

YOU ARE SO A LOVELY FAMILY! SO NATURAL AND BEAUTIFUL LOVE YOUR FAMILY! WISH YOU ALL GODS BLESSINGS! SEE YOU IN HEAVEN!!

I've been richly blessed by you and your beautiful family. I've never heard of bruderhof before and find it to be a logical, responsible and Godly way to live. I grew up in a conservative midwest town that had a number of amish communities in the outer more rural areas. I admired their commitment to God and the simplicity of a God centered family life. My admiration didn't go much further than that mostly because of my own spirituality or lack thereof at the time. Now that I'm a middle aged man having found my way back to God I find myself at the very least, intrigued by your community and way of life. Do you ever allow outsiders to visit and experience the bruderhof way of life . It's funny how God works sometimes. I live in the most liberal neighborhood in the liberal capital city of my state. Lately, with the political climate being what it is I've been wondering if I should make a move to find a more like minded environment to call home. I would appreciate your prayers for guidance. Sorry to have rambled on so. God bless you and your beautiful family.

Praise be to God, what a beautiful little life and family. Congratulations.

Hi Xander and many blessings mom and dad. Its so wonderful that you all have that much needed support. The mutual love and dedication your community has for each other is what everyone longs for I do believe.

Congratulations to you both. Xander is beautiful

I love old family names! Both of my two kiddos are family names :) beautiful baby!!! Congratulations!!

Congratulations both of you. I hope he is a placid little baby. My oldest son's middle name is Alexander, and one of my grandson's also has Alexander as his middle name. I like Xander as well. Take care, best wishes to you all. Love from Susan in UK.

He is a sweet blessing!

What a beautiful family you are, with a contented new baby! May God richly bless you all x
