Evelyn Grace Guinn
i just love the name evelyn!! sounds classy, rings nice with guinn, fits perfect with grace....and happens to be one of my most favorite favorite relatives-- martha-evelyn waldrop. if you grew up with me, you know grandmother martha quite well. she was one of a kind. loud, wildly entertaining, hilarious, and so much fun. she was a model in her day. she had great legs and great hands. who would ever think-- great hands. they were so great that she was seriously a hand model. i remember at her funeral-- saying my goodbyes, and all i could think was "oh my gosh, those hands STILL look amazing".
anyway, she'd be the first to tell you that she was special. in her old age, she would tell me that i better pray i got her great gene's because, "if you'll notice (while looking around the restaurant) my skin doesn't sag like these other old ladies"...and of course she had the "most desirable white hair and not that nasty gray".
anyway, we all loved this lady beyond words and i am so thrilled to carry on a little piece of her!
so there we have it. joy avery and evelyn grace. joy and evy. LOVE!


Of course I am in love with the name, but I thoroughly enjoyed you taking us back to the wonderful memories of grandmother martha. Evy will for sure have as much spunk and energy as her and of course...beautiful hands. I can still close my eyes and see her hand modeling photos. Hilarious. And I am sooooo excited :)
