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.

First Day of School 2010

Ella started her 3rd year at her preschool last week! She's going to school 5 mornings a week this year! I was sad/worried about that until Sadie arrived and now I think it's great for Ella to have time with friends every morning while I can rest or get things done with just 1 kid in tow. As always, Ella LOVES school, has a bunch of "best friends," and is enjoying learning new things all the time. She taught herself to write her last name this summer (from listening to me spell it over the phone many times!) and is really interested in sounding out words (reading) and writing. She's doing great!




And here's what Sadie did on Ella's first day of school...

  1. I love that last pic of Ella - a real smile and she is so tan!! Yay for sleeping babies :-) Hope she stays that way.
