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.

3 Teeth gone!




Ella lost her first tooth at school and couldn't find it so she made this to leave under her pillow for the tooth fairy!

Ella has lost 3 teeth!  The first was February 3rd then April 30th, then today, May 7th!  It's been a fun right of passage for me to relive the wiggling with your tongue, and the nasty salt water gargling when the tooth came out and the funny gaps when the tooth is gone.  It's also been fun to be the tooth fairy!  Ella pretty much knows we're the tooth fairy but I think she wants to believe so we all kind of pretend like it's real :-)  It's fun to have some wonder and "magic" when you're six :-)  So, off to play my tooth fairy role for tooth number 3!  Love having a big kid!
