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.

Conversations

While I'm cooking dinner...
Ella: Jesus at Lexi's birthday party
Me (making sure I heard right): Jesus was at Lexi's birthday party?
Ella: yeah!
Me: Did you see him?
Ella:Yeah!
Me: What did he do?
Ella: Ate a cupcake
Me: Really? What else?
Ella: Had dinner time
Chris: Did he talk to anyone?
Ella:Yeah, Lexi, [it's] Lexi's birthday party! (this seemed like it should be followed by "duh" but she thankfully, doesn't know that word yet)


Later Ella was doing watercolors on a picture of a little penguin with his mouth open

Ella: Penguin is calling mommy
Me: He is? What does he say?
Ella: "Moommmmy, where aaaaare you?"
Me: What does the Mommy say?
Ella (very matter-of factly): "I'll be back in 2 minutes"

    She cracks me up. I'm glad to know that Lex's party had a spiritual element to it :)
