How about Now


Life is one hurdle after another.  It seemed just when life was beginning to settle down with Eric finally coming home from the hospital and our family all together for the first time, before we had hardly caught our breathe we were jumping another hurdle.  

Our dear little Eric is now 7 months old, and I am just now finally feeling like I can handle coming back to our blog.   Eric Murland.  I'm so glad we named him that.  Dan and I really wanted both our son's names to  fit them and be good strong names, but also to mean something.  I think we've succeeded. 

It breaks my heart that Eric will never know his grandpa Murland, but I'm SO grateful that they got to meet each other in this life.   I'm so profoundly thankful that I got to know Murland and will be able to tell my son all about the man he's named after.   Eric will always be able to be proud of the legacy of the name that he bears and has as a standard to strive to live up to.
