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.

Imagine!

 There's a local festival that we really like because of the tons of artistic activities available for kids.  This year Chris was out of town camping with college friends when it happened so Aunt Marissa helped me take the kids.  It was a beautiful, sunny, not sweltering hot day and we found parking close by in a garage for only $4.  Oh yeah, and the crafts, music, and activities were pretty cool too :-)
I was SO impressed with this mermaid!! The face paint lady had skills!!
I was planning to use the stroller but Marissa insisted she wanted to "be a mom for a day" and carry Sadie in the baby Bjorn.  I warned her it would be hot and heavy but she did it!  I was totally impressed.  18lbs in that thing is ROUGH!


Potting her own plant

She made a cupcake out of clay.  It was actually a really cool idea that I intend to steal and reproduce :-)

Thanks Aunt Marissa!
