Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Strawberry Picking!

So Much to write about and finally a little time to do so...

Last week we went with my friend Christie and her new baby (the adorable Ladan) to pick strawberries at Larriland Farms. We had a lot of fun even though our jam turned out more like chunky syrup than jam. Oh well, still tastes good and it was fun to feel like the wives on Little House on the Prarie :-)

Ella was very excited to carry the biggest box they had
She surprised me and got the hang of picking and putting the berries in the box right away!
She had fun running through the strawberry fields and occassionally stepping in our basket of strawberries and squishing them
Christie stirring our jam :-)
Very Fun Day! I think we'll go back for bluberries in July :-)
