Dinner with "Erin" and Family...

I am blessed to have these two beautiful ladies in our family...

...my niece, Erin (left) and step-daughter, Erin (right)

 

 

My niece, Erin, allowed me to be an Aunt in the 2nd grade back in 1982.

 

 

Along came my step-daughter, Erin, when she decided

it was time to meet her dad back in 2001.

 

 

Tonight we shared a meal and with both
of these ladies and their families.

 

 

It is truly a JOY to see what wonderful wives

and mothers both have become!

 

 

My great-niece, Lucy, getting ready to dive into her hot dog!

 

 

Miss Molly...my other great-niece digging into brownie for dessert!

 

 

And my step-granddaughter, (yes, I am a grandma!) Gracie,

stylin' with her pink fork filled with dinner!

 

 

What a beautiful reminder of how important family is in our lives!

 

 

I looked up the meaning of the name "Erin" and this

is one description I found...

 

"People with the name "Erin" tend to initiate events, to be leaders rather than followers, with powerful personalities. They tend to be focused on specific goals, experience a wealth of creative new ideas, and have the ability to implement these ideas with efficiency and determination. They tend to be courageous and  creative individuals.

 

 

Both of these women have a lot of the characteristics

of their name as mentioned above and I am truly thankful

for their steadfast love and boldness.

 

Thanks for a really fun night filled with food, family and fun.

Love you both very much!

 

Her children rise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praises her:

“Many women have done excellently, but you surpass them all.”
