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.

Very Late Passover

My Dad's side of the family is Jewish and we try to celebrate Passover and Hanukkah with them. This year my grandmother really wanted to wait until Marissa could be home from Boston to celebrate so we were a couple months late but here are some pictures from our (extremely modified) seder.


Family gatherings on my side of the family consist almost entirely of 6-8 adults staring intently at Ella.

    Haha! I guess that's the way it goes with grandchild #1! Christopher (your nephew, not your husband) had this on both sides.

    Of course this probably happens at home too. It did in ours...
