Hello, everybody!

There is a lovely announcement to make that I wish to proclaim to all of Holy Worlds! Our wonderful Carissa (Or Duchess Daisy) has a new, little sibling! Her name is Esther Danielle.

This is the special thread to announce the wonderful event of a new, little life and to welcome her into the world as well as to congratulate Duchess Daisy! :D Therefore, let the welcoming and joyful celebrations begin!

Congratulations to Carissa's Mum and Dad! ('Cause, after all, don't they deserve some credit too? ;) )

And to Carissa, for a baby sis!

And to Esther, a beautiful, healthy baby!! :D

Aw, thank you all so much. :) I will have to show this to my mama when she's not resting.

Baby Esther just keeps on getting cuter and cuter (which seems impossible, but she is managing it nicely) and is doing very very well. She just had her second check up and everything is great!! So praise God for that. :D

Well Carissa, you and I have already talked about little Esther, but I figured I'd pop in here anyways. I know you won't grow tired of me telling you we are praying for ya'll, or reminding you how blessed you all are.

May Esther live up to her name. May she grow mighty and strong "For such a time as this". May every smile remind you of the Grace of God, and every gentle touch remind you of the blessing of being able to hold her.

When you are tired and drained (happens a lot when we older siblings help take care of the baby), remember that you would much rather be tired, than not have her. When she's fussy, remind yourself that the Lord is preparing and training you to raise your own children.

Love you Lots, Carissa. Give Esther a kiss for me, and Mama Mann a hug.
