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.

Put on your Yarmulke, it's time for Happy Hannukah!

Happy last day of Hannukah!!


We've enjoyed celebrating this year and Ella, over the years, has become a candle lighting pro.  This year she even got into trying to pronounce the Hebrew words in the prayers we say before lighting the candles.  I'm so glad to be passing on this tradition from my half-Jewish heritage which so easily fits with our Christian faith-remembering God's miracle and praising Him for it?  Yes please! And for some Hannukah levity....a little Adam Sandler below :-)

    Beautiful picture, Corinne! What wonderful family traditions your girls will have from both your families.
