I'm sorry that I didn't "catch you" before you went to be with your daughter during her birth, but your dear family was in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYour newest granddaughter is simply adorable, and I LOVE her name! Evelette is not a name I've heard of before, but I love it's meaning. The photo of you and the baby is a precious one as well.
I'm glad everything went well for your daughter's delivery. :)
Hello dear Mara,
DeleteThanks so much for stopping by and leaving your sweet comment. Thanks for remembering our family. It was certainly a thrill to be there when our granddaughter arrived. I will always remember seeing her for the first time. No words will ever describe that feeling. :')
Much love to you, my friend.

Awww, congratulations! I love her name and so sweet to carry on the tradition. Yes, you look totally happy and enjoying the moment. :-)
ReplyDeleteOur 4th grandchild and 3rd granddaughter is due to arrive the first week of Sept. So looking forward to it.:-)
Blessings to you and your family,
Anne♥
Oh, Anne...you are expecting your 4th grandchild, too?! How wonderful for you all! I will keep the mama and baby in my prayers.
DeleteAnd I love that my daughters and granddaughters have a form of my name. But I'm wondering...what will we do if too many females are born into our family? I guess that's a nice problem to have, right? ;)
Much love to you, dear friend.

Precious!!! Rejoicing with you.

Congratulations to all! How do you pronounce her name? And do they live many hours away? I hope you get to see her often. Love to you all. Beautiful photos!
ReplyDeleteHello, dear friend,
DeleteYou pronounce her name like Evelyn, only with an "ette" at the end. They live 8 hours away, but we stay on touch via email and phone calls. Thanks for stopping by and I continue remembering your little princess in my prayers.
In Christ,
Lisa
