Hello Cassandra Judith Burch!

I just found out last night that you are a healthy little girl! Your daddy is just over-joyed and your Godfather, Dale, is as well. I didn't speak to your mom on the phone but I know she is estatic.

Your mom had the name Cassandra Fantasia picked for you, as I had already written. But your daddy really didn't like Fantasia at all, so they agreed to let him have the middle name. And he chose "Judith".

I absolutely love it. It sounds old-fashioned, elegant, charming, very Victorian to me, just beautiful. He couldn't have come up with a better name. You will have your daddy's initials and I hope his dimples. I am looking for a christening dress to make for you (whether or not you wear it is o.k., I just want to make it!), and it will be beautiful as well. I can't wait to meet you.
