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.

Artsy-ness

 It has become clear to me that I have not spent enough time on artistic endeavors for the last few years.  I'm not an excellent artist so I've shied away from creative tasks because I tend to like doing things I KNOW I'm really good at.  Crafts and such also require time and planning which is hard with 2 kids and grad school and a full life.  But, excuses aside.  It really feeds my soul to tap into my creative side so I've been trying for a few months to do it more often.  I'm writing more, singing more, taking pictures more, and crafting more. So, stay tuned for more crafty blog posts!  Here are some pics of a couple projects from December :-)

  1. I LOVE the lighting in the pic of the wreath sitting on top of the piano. You should plan all of your important shots right there :-)
