Our Baby's Name


I wanted to announce our Baby's Name. We are so excited to be having a little girl. After a lot of thinking and planning we are naming our little girl.....
MIA GENEVIEVE BARTON, which broken down means: MIA(MEE-ah): Wished for Child, Beloved. GENEVIEVE(JEN-a-veev): Women of the people. I wanted a name that was strong yet delicate, and this seemed like a perfect fit. I hope that all of you enjoy sharing in our baby's name. The picture is a little preview of her nursery wall.. More to come soon!

We moved to North Carolina....



January Greetings to all of our family and friends. There have been a lot of changes for the Barton Family since I last blogged after Christmas. I guess the biggest change has been that we moved to Raleigh, NC. We have spent the last six months working for a ministry called, Least of These International. We had such an awesome time doing this, grew as a couple and learned so much. However, we have moved in a different direction at this time and Reed is working for as a Water Design Engineer. In this economy we felt really blessed to find a great job. Right now we do not know how long we will be here but it is a really nice area. We are excited to bring our baby girl into the world. Right now I am taking the next eight to ten weeks to prepare to be a Mom. I am already nesting really bad. I guess that is to be expected since I have box’s everywhere and have to organize a whole town house. I am just taking it day by day. Another cool thing that has happened is that Reed and I have begun our Labor Class. It is really informative and we keep asking ourselves, are we really already here in our lives. We are embracing parenthood as best we can and know that we have a lot to learn in the future. I want to thank all of you that have helped us in this transitions. We could not have done it without you all. We have been surrounded by love and are so thankful for everything that we have. There is a lot more to come, pictures of our new place, baby's room, baby shower... Cant Wait.
