ALPHABE - Z

~*~



Z is for Zoe, the youngest of four, but a force to reckon with!





Her sister kept calling her that, when she was not even born yet,
so whenever that time arrived, Zoe became her name.
And so appropriate, because Zoe means "life." And she is a 
hand full of it, as you can see in the pastel
I did of her when she was a toddler! 





Am glad that her mom is a good disciplinarian, so I know Zoe 
will turn out all "zoet"  
which is the Dutch word for "sweet."

What a precious little baby, funny how darling they are anyway, but when you see them sleeping there's a whole other magic or Zoet to them!...very nice Z for Zoe!

What a wonderful name story (I love hearing how and why people are named what they are). Do you have any idea how your older daughter learned about the name "Zoe"? It's so very pretty but, still, fairly uncommon.

NitWit1 said...

Zoe is lovely as portrayed and I can not imagine her needing an discipline!

Janelle Goodwin said...

Zoe looks like such a sweet angel.

Splendid Little Stars said...

Clytie said...

She is beautiful - and she certainly does look like she's a lively handful! The pastel you made is certain to be a great treasure in her life!

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

What a lovely post! She is "zoet"~! And so are you to do such a lovely pastel of her and to share it and the photos withus.

Judie said...

That little mounth is as sweet as a rose bud! Good "Z" post!!

Jeannette StG said...

Nitwit1,
Sometimes looks belie the real person:):) But she is very pretty!

Janelle,
She is very generous! But talk to her brother and sisters to find out...:)

Clytie,
Only a mom can put these two characteristics together:) She certainly gave me a lot of material to draw from (chuckle)

Sallie,
Thank you! The details are too interesting to keep it a secret:)

Hello.
Zoe...beautiful name for a beautiful girl.
Your drawing is wonderful. Such acute detail, including the little folds in her arms. A lovely gift to cherish through the ages.
Awesome work!

Thanks for sharing.
