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.

Ghetto-Fabulous

We went to the most GHETTTTTTO children's museum ever yesterday but Ella had fun and that's what counts!


dressing up as a little piggy

she was adamant about getting every necklace back into this box and getting the top on exactly right (which was hard because it was broken-I'm telling you this place was super-shabby)

if she becomes a scientist it'll be cute to have a picture of her first look into a microscope

Ella found all kinds of random toys deep inside this play sink. The oven door was broken so you can see that she had to cook our broccoli on the stove instead.

See-sawing with mommy (and a doll she adopted while there).

She touched a turtle!!! I really want her to overcome her fear of touching animals so this was a great step! Yay Ella!

  2. Are you embracing your curly hair? Didn't you used to straighten it all the time? Leanna went through a big exercise of embracing her curly, too!

  3. It's at the chesapeake children's museum in annapolis :-)

    Oh and I sometimes embrace the curly hair when it's SO humid it doesn't really make any sense to straighten it. It's still not my favorite...
