There she is, Summer Kate.
Sometimes late at night, when I should just put the phone away, I look at pictures…which often leads to some reminiscing. Anyone else?
Before we found out we were having a girl, I was totally convinced we would have a boy! Growing up with three brothers I couldn’t imagine having a little girl first, but, the name Summer Kate kept coming to my mind. I thought, weird…why am I thinking of little girl names?! We are so going to have a little boy!
Then, at a surprise gender reveal photoshoot, from the most incredible friends, we found out we were having our girl!
Instantly I had tears that I couldn’t hold back. I had never experienced that kind of emotion before and I’ll never forget that day.
We’ve had this incredible bond before she ever took her first breath.
So, why the name Summer Kate?
Summer reminds me of all things that bring so much joy & Kate means pure.
Baby, you’re living up to your name, because you are absolutely pure joy.
