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.

Valentine's Day!!

We had a great Valentine's Weekend!


We made 2lbs of chocolate covered strawberries! They were SO good.


Chris had all of this waiting for Ella and I-he was very sneaky :-) The pink paper in the front had an itinerary for our whole day! We had so much fun-a pedicure for me while he dropped Ella off with his mom, museum, lunch, coffee shop, then a movie!

A great new coffee shop in the city that we found after going to 3 places that were closed! The red hearts were part of a game Chris made up for us to play where we had to think of our favorite memories in about 20 different categories. He's so sweet and it was a lot of fun :-)

Valentine's dinner with my extended family! My Dad is SO sweet-he brought a dozen roses for EACH of us!!! And a bear for Ella :-)

Then, my mom gave Ella this amazing princess dress, shoes, and crown. She was SO happy.

Dancing with Daddy. What a perfect way to end a wonderful Valentine's weekend.

    Sounds like you had a blast! I love that picture of Chris and Ella dipping strawberries.
    I miss you. We should talk soon. (I got flowers too! A fellow who has a crush on me sent them to me at work!)
    Love you ~ S
