5/13/2025 Still Thinking About Mothers...

How did you'll choose your children’s names?

Elizabeth was the name I knew I wanted for my first born. In fact from the time we knew I was pregnant that name was top of my list.

Actually the idea came from a time when I was a 10 year old child.

It was fully formed by the time we moved from Juniper Lane in St. Joseph where our neighbor's golden haired gorgeous child resided.

I just knew I would have one day my very own beautiful daughter and that dignified and beautiful name would be for my waiting new baby.

Now Sarah was a different story.

I had just buried my dear mother 6 months prior and Carl & I wanted to honor both of our mothers.

His mother's name was Sarah and she was the fifth Sarah in the long line of Sarahs in her family.

I gave my Sarah the middle name Irene after my mother who received her name from her own aunt.

Maybe the Angel of names was sitting on our shoulders and whispered the perfect name for each of our girls.

I just know that their names are them.

They grew up so fast it made my head spin...

Love My Babies Always... Even though they are grown women now!
