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.

Snow Day at Aunt BooBoo's

Yesterday was Martin Luther King's Bday and we planned to meet Marissa at a museum downtown that was having kids stuff all day but then...IT SNOWED! I am obsessively in love with snow for anyone who doesn't know. OBESSESSSSSED. I was jumping around and screaming when it started and I'm still sad that it didn't stick at our house :-( Anyway, we ended up just going down to Marissa's house and hanging out for the afternoon because it was actually snowing HARD there and sticking. We had a great time-thanks for having us over Marissa!


Marissa got rid of her bed frame and now has this big loungey bed on the floor with lots of blankets and pillows. Ella was in heaven. She giggled uncontrollably and wanted to play in the bed for a LONG time. Gizmo, Marissa's roommate's dog got in on the action too.

Next we made cookies and matzo ball soup. Ella helped some and then watched some Curious George while we finished up.

Then we took Gizmo out on a walk and played around in the snow. See! It really snowed!

We warmed up with a wild game of Zingo which Ella promptly lost interest in as soon as she lost (I won!). Fun day!

    So fun! I took some pics of my kids in the snow that I need to post. What is it about snow that makes life so much happier? Maybe because it gives the cold a good reason to exist.

    That looks like a great day! Will and I don't like snow, though. Too cold.

    So glad you had fun in the snow! It looks like Ella has so much fun with you and all the great things you do with her!

    We had a slight bit of snow the past few days. It stuck a bit to the cars and some on the grass, but nothing much and you could still see everything underneath it. Snow=cold. I don't like cold. But, it sure is pretty coming down! Poor Z, it was all melted by the time he woke up from his nap. Bummer!
