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.

Fall Day at the Park

On Saturday we finally got to hang out with Marissa (it had been weeks!) and went to a kid's day at a local park. Lots of fun and a GORGEOUS fall day. Have I mentioned I LOVE fall?? I REALLLY do.

We were at the top of a big hill and I told Ella she should run down to this amphitheater and get on the stage and dance for us. And to my shock she took of running and did it! That little spot with pink pants and black shirt is her!

Running back up the hill to Aunt Marissa

Sucking down a sno-cone

The park had a beach on the bay and we played there for a long time. Here Marissa is helping Ella right her name with a stick. She got really into writing on the sand but insisted she only wanted to make "loooong lines" not letters. She had a blast.

Ella's gotten quite adventurous lately and likes climbing and jumping off of things a lot more than she used to. (and a lot more than I do...I get scared!)

Great Day with the fam!
