Lydia Grace Barron and Molly Joy Barron

So everyone's been asking... We'll happily tell you! What will we name our little girl? Lydia Grace Barron. Lydia is a family name on both sides of the family tree, but we chose it for Oliver's grandmother ("Omi"). They were very close and Oliver always hoped he could someday name a daughter after her. We chose Grace because we love the meaning. God extends unending grace and mercy to us every single day. The exact definition is "God's free and unmerited favor for a sinful mankind". Without his grace, mercy and forgiveness, we would be lost and far from Him. On this earth, we should always be ready to extend grace to one another as well. After all - we all need it, and what better way to show God's love to others than to be like Him?
So what if we're surprised and it turns out to be a boy?!? (It happens.) Well we have a name picked out for him, too. We'll save that announcement just in case a little boy is still years down the road.
