Welcome Esme Lucille!!

Well...the Grabinski family would like to PROUDLY announce the birth of our beautiful new daughter. Esme Lucille was born on August 28th, weighing a respectable 6 lbs. 13 oz (how's that for being 4 weeks early!) Everything went very smoothly, and Mommy and Esme are feeling great, just a little bit sleep deprived:) The children absolutely adore her, especially the newest big sister, Tessa. She loves patting her back saying "good girl." It is precious to see how much love they have for this new little life. Elijah was the only one a little hesitant to hold, or even look at her at first. Mommy quickly figured that this had something to do with Tessa. He is so close to Tessa, that I figured he would be afraid that he couldn't love another little one. I sat him down and told him that you don't have to divide your love when new people come into your life, God simply gives you more love to share. That little pep talk seemed to do the trick. Now, the first thing he does when he gets home from school is check on his newest little sis. They all love her so much, it really is the sweetest thing!

So, our family is complete and our house if FULL (and noisy!) and we have been so very blessed!
