chris and i faced a unique challenge with this pregnancy--coming up with another girl name that we both liked. it was difficult. with claire, we both liked it right away, but we struggled finding a boy's name. this pregnancy, we immediately had a boy's name, but struggled choosing a girl's name. mya was our choice simply because we both thought it was beautiful. the selection of her middle name was a bit deeper than that. my grandma arlene passed away in october 2007. she was so very special to me and represented so many qualities that i can only hope my daughters possess. my grandma was loving, kind, strong, independent, intelligent, and so very generous in every way possible. she loved to read, travel, garden, laugh and possessed a great sense of humor. she liked things to look just so and really strived to make everyone happy. i can only hope that these same qualities and joys are modeled and encouraged in our girls' lives. so it is with great love and admiration that our newest addition was named in honor of my grandma.
