The Name

When choosing a name for the baby, we felt it had to be another "R" name, like his brother Reed.  We chose Ramsey, my mother's maiden name.  For the middle name, we wanted something with a significant meaning. When we found out Armand, his grandfather's name, meant "Strong Soldier" it seemed like the perfect choice. We want our little guy to stay strong and fight for a healthy life at home with us :) The name Ramsey means "from a wild garlic island"...I guess his name is strong on two counts!!

  7. My Grandma was Freda Ramsey Moural and my Aunt Judy Moural Snyder shared your story with me. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers. The Lord definitely doesn't give us more than we can handle. Our almost 2 year old was born with Spina Bifida. He never ceases to amaze us with his strength and how much he blesses us every day.

    God Bless you all

    Love Michelle Moural Lanko
