If you have been following our blog the past few weeks, you will know that I have been waiting for Iris Marlene - our newest grand baby - to come into the world. Well she is here! A little story about her name...
She looks a bit like her namesake - her (paternal) Great Granny, Iris Seitz. Her middle name is for her maternal Great Grandmother, M. Arlene Samson.
What she does not know,and I hope to teach her, is how strong the two women she was named for were in their own lives. Both women had 6 children, staying home to care for them. They loved their children and grandchildren fiercely and always were involved in their lives.
Iris - it will be wonderful to watch you grow. I will tell you over and over - Strong Women Rock - and encourage you to always believe in yourself! I look forward to telling you tales of the women who you were named for, and seeing glimpses of them in you.
To my blog friends, enjoy this glimpse of the first few days of Iris' life...
