JUNE

Jensyn June Smith
We'll talk about her name in a minute.
Today we celebrate our girl.
10 years ago Shawn brought her to me wearing a purple bow.
There really aren't many words.
lovely. delightful. a gem.
But of course I think she's wonderful.
(except for when she's Ja-nay-nay!)
Here are some of my favorite pics...

Now to her name.
This is Shawn's grandmother...June Spackman Larson
(doesn't she look like a hoot?..)

This is her other great-grandmother, June Mann Moss Westbrook
(now I know she was a hoot! my mother's mother)

and sometimes I call her June.  Just June.
It means a lot to me. 
I love that it ties her to these two amazing women.
I used to take Jensy with me to visit my grandmother when she was sick
and she was only 3ish, but she still remembers and talks about it.
She has a strong heritage
one she can be proud of,
and honor in her own way.
