Claire

…has always been my favorite girl’s name. After so many years of dreaming of naming my first daughter Claire, I can still hardly believe she is here in my arms. Claire is the french form of the name ‘Clara’, a Greek name meaning “Clear or Bright”.

Anneliese

Claire was born on her great-grandfather Jake’s birthday, so we chose to give her a dutch middle name in honor of him. Anneliese is a combination of Anne, meaning “Grace” and Elise, meaning “The Lord is God”. We pronounce it ร„n-a-lฤ“s’ (the “a” as in father, Anja, and Anneke, and the emphasis on the last syllable.)

    Hello! I just started reading your blog (a couple of weeks ago), but I wanted to say … wow, CONGRATULATIONS! ๐Ÿ™‚ I am so happy for you and your family! Your little girl is beautiful and her name is charming – and it looks as if she already has a special relationship with her big brother. May God bless you and your family!

    Trina, I shared the photos on your blog from Claire’s first couple of days with your Pake (Jake) and Beppe at church. Beppe was busy sharing them with your mom’s long time friend, Laura Rogers. They are both so proud. Aunt Audrey
