Two months ago, our family friend Marlies, gave birth to a beautiful, healthy baby girl...and they named her Ranen. Our Ranen was quite taken with the idea that someone else shared her name...and looked forward to meeting her. Yesterday Marlies came for coffee with baby Ranen...and Lisa came with Ranen and Micah.
And so...Ranen met baby Ranen. They smiled at each other...
...and big Ranen wondered whether she might take baby Ranen out to the swings. We suggested she wait for another year or so! They both agreed to that.
Joyful...a wonderful name to live up to!
Until I learned of your Ranen, I had never heard the name. It is pronounced the same way that folks in our corner say "raining." I really like the name, but not for that reason; I like it for its Hebrew meaning of course! What cutie pies the Ranens are! And your Ranen is so good and gentle with wee Ranen.
ReplyDelete2 adorable girls!
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful is that. Both Ranens are such cuties!!
ReplyDeleteAnother adorable blog this morning.

How very sweet. I think your Ranen's name suits her. I love her gentle hand.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy! ... and a big thank you especially from Ranen for making her those super warm blankets!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I've had that experience too! Meeting another Anneliese or hearing a stranger pronounce it correctly ans tell me they know another Anneliese ...what is it about names?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures Judy! I think over the years the two girls may develop a special bond of friendship. It's a lovely name.
ReplyDeleteI love Hebrew names! Wouldn't it be something if both girls were inspired to learn more Hebrew when they got older?
ReplyDeleteRanen is a beautiful name with a lovely meaning. It suits both little girls very well as they both look very joyful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great name...never heard it prior to this....both Ranen's are adorable !!

ReplyDeleteIt is so good to be back to read all the posts that I have missed last week. I can't tell you how much I enjoy the way you post, the creativity you share and the sweet, kind way you share those you love. This last picture of the two Ranens is priceless! You can almost feel the love and admiration the older one had for the younger one.
ReplyDeleteThe green birthday party was quite impressive. Martha Stewart should have been there with her camera crew. Great posts.
