Jane got blessed, in May, or was it April?

Jane had her blessing back in the Spring while we still lived in Seattle. We were very happy to have Omi, and Grandpa Parry, Grandma and Grandpa Nash, along with great Grandma and Grandpa Nash, and great Grandma and Grandpa Merrill along with other family members and friends. Elisa's mom was even kind enough to come out and join us.Jane looked really pretty in her dress and just like Sophia, she had a huge amount of hair for her age. Jane is named after her great Grandma Merrill and her great great great Grandma Jane. I'd liked the name for awhile, but this last summer, while I was pregnant, we attended a family reunion at my Grandma and Grandpa Merrill's house where my grandma gave a presentation on her grandma Jane. I remember that while was listening to her talk about Jane, I realized that that was to be her name. This picture right above is with her Omi, Grandpa Parry, Grandma and Grandpa Nash.


We also took a fun picture with the four generations of women. Jane's hand, my hand, my mom's hand, and her mom's hand all together . I really like the way that it turned out.

This is Jane and a goofy looking Sophia with my grandparents and their great grandparents on my dad's side.

This is the girls with my grandparents on my mother's side. Jane is being held by one of her namesakes, her great grandma Merrill.

Thanks to my Aunt Kristi who took the pictures and my cousins best friend Leah tweaked them afterwards
