Meeting Her Namesake

So you all know her first name: Grace.
But, do you know her middle name?
It was chosen with care. It was chosen with love. It was chosen because I adore my sister.
Her name is Grace ELISABETH. She was named after my sister, and yes it's Elisabeth with an "s", not a "z". I absolutely love my sister and I couldn't think of a better way to honor her than to name my daughter after her.
We traveled down to visit with my sister and her family this weekend and had a great time. My brother and his family also traveled down. It was nice to have everyone together, which hasn't happened since New Years. This is a picture of my sister adoring Grace. It was so fun to introduce Grace to Beth and her family. They all adored her, but I wonder, does Grace even know how blessed she is to be related to this family? Does she know how amazing her aunt is? Does she know how much her aunt already loves her? Beth, if you're reading this, know that we love you!!!
Sophie, Lauren, Julia, Abby and Grace. Five peas in a pod!
A tight hug from her cousin Julia.
Lauren lavished love on Grace too!
Of course, after the newness of the baby was over, the kids headed outside to play. Then it was time for Popsicles!
