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.

Fun with Friends

We had a fun few days with friends recently. The Kim girls are a BLAST and somehow Hanna and Ella get along without any of the toddler squabbles ("it's mine!" "no, it's mine!"). It's shocking how long they can play together and need no parental intervention...I hope it lasts! Ella also had a fun morning with her cousins (supervised by Chris) while Amy and I had a morning off. Good times all around.

Ella's gaudy-ness was greatly indulged with Hanna's necklace stash

All three girls in the midst of trashing the playroom (they play well but create DISASTERS!)

Little Halle was trying to keep up with the big girls (and she can pretty well!)

It cracks me up that Ella says "we're going to Hanna's new room! Heeeere weeee commme!!!"

Christopher danced all around in this doing his "elephant dance"

Chris made the kids popcorn and let them watch a VeggieTales video, what a fun dad :-)

Yes, that's two kids (one with wings) inside a Doll crib

And finally, a big part of the last few weeks has been visiting Ping and Drew and baby Silas. He's so adorable and Ella had fun getting to hold him all by herself :-)
