Meet Our Etta

By Lindsayleighbentley @lindsayLbentley

We finally settled on a name for our sweet girl, whom we have affectionately called “Baby Girl” until now.

A name is really important to us, especially the meaning.

Henry (Charles Henry IV) has his daddy’s, Grandfather’s, and Great Grandfather’s name.  Miles Lewis is named after C.S. Lewis.

We thought we had settled on a middle name a few weeks ago, but on Thursday morning, right before she was born, Hank peeked out of the window to find that the sun had risen to reveal a gorgeous, sunny, bright morning.

He knew then that he wanted to give her a middle name that means “light”…

Liora (lee-OR-ah)

“God’s gift of light to me”

It’s perfect for her, and for us.

Our little ray of light. 

Before I fell asleep last night I prayed that she would be a light to all who meet her.  A light for God. A light of hope and joy.

She certainly has already been all of those things to us.

We are overjoyed by her presence in our lives.  She’s quiet and sweet, pretty and petite.

Perfect

live well. be well.
