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 รn-a-lฤs’ (the “a” as in father, Anja, and Anneke, and the emphasis on the last syllable.)
What a beautiful little lady! Congratulations on your new addition.~Judy
Hello! I just started reading your blog (a couple of weeks ago), but I wanted to say … wow, CONGRATULATIONS! ๐ 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!
I just love the pictures Trina! She is SOOO beautiful and this Aunt is already taken even though I haven’t seen her in person yet:) I can see “Jesse” features in her too:) you look great and I can’t wait to see all of you some time soon!
Happy Day Number 5! Just thinking of you all today.
Dear Trina,Jeremy and Jesse,We welcome Claire with you- so happy for you! Trina’s cousin “Analisa Grace”, our daughter, particularly loves the name! Love and hugs to you all!
she is so beautiful and looks so much like Jesse!!!i always wanted to name a girl Annelyse…spelled just that way because my mom’s mom has the middle name Ann…my mom’s middle name is Annette (french for “Little Ann”) and my middle name, Elyse. =)i very much approve of Claire’s middle name!!!

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
