And Baby Makes Eight

Another sweet angel has come to join our family.  Doesn't

she look like she has a smile on her face meeting her 

family for the first time?  

Meet Baby Jacquelyn.  Her three year old brother

has been calling her by that name since he found out

she was a girl.  He even argued with his brother

and sister when they liked other names.  

He would say things to mama like, "Did Baby Jacquelyn

sleep well last night?" (while she was still in mama's tummy),

"Is Baby Jacquelyn coming today?", "How's Baby Jacquelyn

doing?", etc.  He pronounces it in two syllables like

Jack-lyn.  

I love my real name of Jacqueline

but have almost always

been called Jackie (which I don't love so much) so when

I started blogging I chose to go by my real name of 

Jacqueline.  Joni (my sister at Red Couch Recipes)

thought that was so funny that I would choose to

go by my real name.  I often tell friends I would

prefer to have them call me by Jacqueline.  Now

we have a real Jacquelyn and I hope no one ever

calls her Jackie.

Of course Grandma LOVES her name

and I also like the slight change in spelling

too.  

This is grandbaby number eight.  We feel so blessed.

This is the dress she came home in and her big

"Sissy" is so happy to finally have a sister.

We are all so grateful she is here safe and sound.

I will be sharing these girly shots on
