The newest HOD-ie in our family

[MelInKansas]

We are overjoyed to announce the birth of Esther Faith, born yesterday (January 10th) at 7:31 PM. 8 pounds 11 ounces, and 20.5 inches long. Born peacefully at home and she and I are both doing very well.

I don't have a lot of pictures yet, but here is one with her oldest sister. All of her sisters love holding and loving on her and her brother is excited that "The baby come out your tummy, Mommy." God provided powerfully in timing, care for my children, and ministering to my heart and soul as well as excellent care and a husband who blessed me with his love and support through it all.

Baby Esther - we are in love!

Welcome to the the world, Esther Faith!!! You are a beautiful little baby, with a beautiful mother and family! A child being born into a home that loves and worships the Lord is something extra worth celebrating. I am so happy for you, Melissa, and I pray for you as you recover from your labor that you have time to rest and recuperate as much as a busy mama can. God bless!

Love in Christ,
Julie
