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 Egg Dyeing!

Being creative and artsy is totally up my alley and Ella's so egg dyeing was a much anticipated event.  We had intended to let Sadie be involved but ended up she needed to go to bed and it was a blessssssing that we didn't try to involve a 20 month old in something involving dye.  We had a blast!

Prepping the dyes!  Learned that the brightest colors are made with vinegar instead of water.  Worked well!

Ella had insane patience in holding the egg to try out a half blue/half green design (her current favorite colors)
