Esther Renee Busenitz finally made her entrance into the world at 7:18 p.m. on September 18, weighing eight and a half pounds!  Isn't she a cutie?  Mom and Dad (Dan and Rebecca) are very proud of her, but I think it's a close tie with Grandpa and Grandma.  Now Ethan will get to hold a little girl on his lap!

Rebecca had a hard and long delivery, and the
doctors were close to going with a C-section.   However, after deciding to try forceps, the doctor was finally able to deliver this precious little one.  We thank God for health and safety of both Mom and daughter.
Rebecca was exhausted but said all the pain was worth having little Esther.

Esther was all dressed for the shower,
but she slept through most of it.
