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.

Garden Update!


Ella is quite the capable plant water-er

Our grape tomatoes are the first to turn red! Yay!

That plant along the whole the right side is a pumpkin plant that is already 10 feet long!! In the front left is an enormous zucchini plant and behind it are lettuce and broccoli.

Our Green peppers are tiny but growing!

Our first zucchinis are out! We have about 4 that are about 6 inches long.

Some of the big tomatoes. I have no clue what the actual name is-I'm not the gardener, I just water and take pictures and cheer Chris on!

Looks like this experiment is yielding some "fruit" so we're excited for the eating-our-own-produce phase!
