I absolutely love this picture. This is my dad's mom...my Grandma Larsen. This is who Elizabeth Claire was named after. Claire Betty Mae Larsen. My grandma always went by Betty, but I love the name Claire. It was almost a first name, but Elizabeth Claire was simply right. Elizabeth went a couple days with no name. It was very weird not having a name to call her by. It drove Dave crazy! We had several names on the list that we both loved...Lilian, Cadence, Claire..I can't think of them all right now. But we couldn't quite feel right about them. Elizabeth was nearer to the bottom and had cropped up as a middle name here and there. But finally, when we had been home a day and the dirt had settled a little, we had all calmed down and felt some peace again after all the excitement... Dave and I looked at each other and said her name out loud and just knew her name was supposed to be Elizabeth Claire! It felt so very right. The spirit was so strong at that moment. I'm so grateful for those moments.
Meeting Grandpa Larsen too! She was quite conked out after playing with her Great Grandma! :)
I had to post this...isn't it a cute one? Grandma was tickled pink to have a new little great grandbaby on her lap!
