Two Marys

Not only did we like the name "Mary", but we had someone really great who already had that name--my Mom. We named Mary after her and David's Great-Great-Grandma Belle. After we chose "Belle" for the middle name we learned that Grandma Belle's first name was actually Mary, she just went by Belle...crazy!

Here are my mom and Mary at the hospital on Baby Mary's birthday.


And here they are when Mary is 1 week + 1 day old. Mom had stopped by after church before heading back out to Mindy's to make sure I was doing okay since I had a rough first time alone with both kids a few days earlier!

Aren't they two lovely ladies?!

Thank you, thank you, thank you Mom for all you did to take care of Mary, Josh & me (& David)!

No apostrophe. And they are beautiful. ;)

I see another officer beat me to it, but I think the rule is that apostrophes show possession.

I love your mother! Just seeing her makes me smile.

Cute pictures Amy. I can't believe you already have two now!

Are you ready to get back to some volleyball yet?

The rule of apostrophe IS about possession.
Example.
The two Marys' smiles are beautiful.

Congrats again on your adorable baby.

Amy, she is beautiful! I think she looks way more like you than Josh did. So fun! I am trying to come for the 24th, and the reunion....I'll have to drive by myself with all of my kids though because Brent has to take the bar that week. Miss you!
