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.

GG's House

Ella has taken well to calling my grandmother "GG" for Great-Grandma. Before that it was a very confusing affair since we call her Mama but Ella calls me Mama and Chris' grandmother is Mom-Mom. Anyway we went to visit Mama last week and had a great time playing with stickers, eating Hershey's kisses, and playing a little bit of dress up.

GG saves all the stickers she gets in the mail from charities she gives to and let Ella make a "book" on some blank paper, she LOVED it and does it almost daily at home now
