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.

Christmas Day 2009

Christmas Day was also fun and we spent the whole day with Chris' family. Lots of people, lots of really good food, and lots of presents. By the time we left there were lots of people sleeping all over the house so clearly, a good time was had by all :-)

My adorable nephew Silas


Ping read the Christmas story in Chinese so her mom (who is visiting) could understand


All the kids got in on helping Mom-mom unwrap her Snuggie!

Somehow I lucked out in actually getting a seat on the couch before Brooklyn and Charlie took over



Jesus' Birthday Cake!

The 5 siblings together!

The sisters-in-law
