Name Game Day 3

Congratulations Dear Friends...

You have successfully guessed our sweet girl's middle name- JANE!

Now for the first name...

Let's stay in the area of literature, this time, children's! Baby girl Jane Bassett's name is also the name of a Beloved Character in Children's Literature.

Below are pics from the Bassett family trip to Jefferson and Marshall last weekend! Good times:)

Lizzie and Daddy watching the ice skaters! Maybe next year they will be participants:)

Elaine was confused by all of the clothing we made her wear.

Someday, we will get a sister pic with both girls looking and smiling... someday!

Lainie loved the deer!

Waiting patiently for the tour bus to see all of the lights

Ready to ride!

It is quite possible that the luggage cart at the hotel was the biggest hit of the trip:)

Love my mountain man!

Jenn and Brandon... aren't they cute!?

The whole crew eating delicious burgers

Elaine telling Pop about the choo choos! This girl LOVES her Pop!

Our sweet family- very much done with the whole "look don't touch" store kinda day

Name Game Day 2

Ok, thanks for playing Kristie and Whitney...

-Hannah was high on the consideration list for a middle name, but it didn't make the final cut:)

-And if this baby is a boy (which multiple others have mentioned as a possibility)... YIKES! I have some learning and shopping to do!

We love Classic Names, and this sweet girl will be no different from her sisters in that department. In fact, both her first and middle name are the names of Classic Female Authors:)

Sweet pics follow of baby girl's big sisters decorating cookies with Granny:)- a tradition in which I have been taking part since I was Elizabeth's age! VERY SPECIAL!

Everyone got flour on their noses, so fun to be silly with Granny!

And you thought I was a rookie! Look at me "roll, roll, roll!"

So much FUN!

Elaine thought Dancin' Santa was hilarious!!!!

My big girl!

Decorating... Elaine decided to eat a handful of red hots... not so bad until she bit into them!!!

I am so thankful my girls have their great grandma around and that she is a part of their lives! We love you Granny!

Let the game begin...
So, with Elizabeth Grace and Elaine Karis, while we chose their names because we love them and their meanings are fantastic, their first names are family names (both of their grandmothers' middle names). This time around though, we have abandoned the E! Our precious girl's name still has great meaning, but it is not a family name.
Here are the meanings of our other girls' names to give you an idea of the kinds of meaning we go for around here.
Elizabeth Grace: God's Promise/Oath of Grace
Elaine Karis: Shining Light of God's Grace

I'll be back with more tomorrow:)
Here is a family pic where you can see evidence that our sweet baby girl is growing! According to my Doc, I am all baby. I definitely feel as though I am carrying her much differently than my other 2; my belly is sticking straight out! In another couple of months I am going to be quite a sight!
