Her Name

Trying to decide on a name for Carla Ann was quite the process for me and Frank.  Even after she arrived it took us a couple days.  It’s such a big decision!  We knew we wanted to use a family name.  There were so many good ones to choose from and close to a dozen names made our list.  We finally decided we wanted to honor the two lovely mothers I have been blessed with in my life.  Carla Jean was my mom who passed away from breast cancer when I was three years old.  My dad remarried when I was five years old to my other mom Catherine Ann.  Both moms shaped me into the person I am today and I’m so thankful to have them both.  I hope I can be just as good of a mom to Carla Ann.
