The Ann Connection

We are all so happy that little Charlotte Ann Bradley has arrived safely in Idaho. We are equally happy that Sally is well and is recuperating. Jeni mentioned Charlotte's middle name Ann is Jennifer's and Sydney's middle name also. That got me to checking in my family history. Back a few generations we have a Julia Ann Longcor born in 1842. She had a brother named Timothy Longcor. There were eight children in Julia's family. Names do have a way of going around.
We are excited to be leaving tomorrow late morning for Idaho by way of Spanish Fork. We'll be staying at the Hansen's extended guest cottage, that is across the street. Then up to Idaho Monday morning.
I'll have little Charlotte's quilt on line next week. Sally gets to see it first. I do love sewing baby quilts. I don't think I have made any from the same pattern. They are all different, just like the babies are all different. Babies are blessings from heaven.

  1. Wish I was going with you to see the baby! But at least I get you for a day.

  2. Of Course there was no mention of the quintessential "Ann" and that would be JoAnn. We know without saying, but I'm not going to be so quiet and modest as she is. Great middle name for a great bunch of girls/women.

  3. Dad's right, Sydney was named after all the mom figures in her life, Jennifer Ann, Jo Ann, and Carol Ann! It's a good name!
