Joy!

I was awakened by a phone call around 2:00 this morning with some news that has blessed me immensely.  My former boss of nine years, and good friend, called to let me know that his wife had safely delivered a baby girl.  And the name of this dear little one?

Esther Joy.  My own little name sake.  She was also named after her maternal grandmother.  The very early wake up call was totally worth it.  Welcome to the world, little Esther Joy!

Suffice it to say, "big" Esther Joy is mighty pleased.  I can't seem to stop smiling.
