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.

Easter/Passover Part 1

Easter weekend was FULL for us. One of the challenging parts about living near both of our families is that holidays are BUSY! However, it was a blessed weekend!

On Saturday we made food for a Passover Seder with my side of the family, dyed eggs, went to an Easter service at my parents church, then had the "Seder" (they're very reformed Jews...so we only do a few parts of a genuine Seder) at my grandmother's. Whew!


Ella was good at rolling out the Matzo Balls!


And she was very proud when we were done!


Next, on to egg dying when Aunt Marissa arrived


This time Ella chose to make Glitter Eggs which turned out to be MESSSSSSY


"Ta da!"


For some reason, this is the only pic I have from my grandmother's house but this pretty much summarizes it-eating, chatting, Ella playing with salt :-)

Easter Sunday still to come...

    I LOVE matzo ball soup. Good job of taking pictures of the process. I rarely remember when the kids are involved :-)
