Summer Echo - Blessing

I think this is the most darling picture!

This is Summer in her Blessing Dress.

Summer is such a mellow child - very peaceful, sweet and happy. The name Summer brings to mind watermellon, swimming, being warm, playing in the creek, green grass, adventures, flowers, family reunions, evenings laying on your back watching the stars come out, sprinklers, fireworks, walking along the beach.....etc.... It is a name full of life.
It's important to us that names be easy to spell and easy to remember.

Echo reminds me of the word remember. Remember who you are, remember where you came from, remember who loves you, remember where you are going, remember that what we do here impacts eternity. On my mission, someone said to me that hearing the gospel was like an echo of something they already knew. When hearing it for the first time, they said it felt good to them and was like they already had it as part of them and just needed to be reminded of that.

Echo is something that comes back...softer when it comes back. Summer is a soft personality.

River takes such good care of her sister :)

She is very gentle, and caring, always looking out for her.

Silver takes good care of her too...she just shows that love differently. Here are Silver's favorite things piled on top of Summer. There were over a dozen books, add to that a doll and a teddy bear with animals on her head...this was Silver's best way of saying she loves her!!!
