We have a name!

It's official . . . Carolina Grace!! We have loved the name Carolina for about six years - one night Chad and I were eating dinner and watching the news. For you long time Nashvillians - you have to know about Bill Hall and his Sunshine Awards. We were eating dinner and weatherman Bill Hall gave a Sunshine Award to a 93 (or so) year old woman Carolina something something. We both looked at each other and said "I like that name" and we have never forgotten it. We still love it and remember it, but I never really thought we would get to use the name Carolina. It is such a sweet, southern name which we feel sounds precious as a baby/child and very elegant and sophisticated as a woman.

Grace . . . what can I say? How simple, how pure, and what a reminder of the grace our Father has bestowed upon us! We cannot wait to meet our precious Carolina Grace and we pray for her health and well being constantly. We covet your prayers as well over the remaining weeks!!
