A New Year

This precious little boy is going to enter the world this year. 

So we are excited to have him in our family!

This ultrasound picture was from December 31st. It was so fun to see him again. He was so active! There is still quite a bit of movement I am not feeling yet :) 

We are naming our son after our grandpas. Back in February of 2012, during our first year of marriage, Anthony and I both lost a grandpa within weeks of each other. Neither of us had experienced loss like this before, but the time really brought us together. We love and miss our grandpas still, but are thankful that they are both in heaven. After they passed away Anthony and I had talked about how we might like to name a son after them... now just a couple of years later we can actually do that! 

Anthony's grandpa: William Reed Swink

My grandpa: Thomas Dean Rhoades
