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.

Mother's Day 2012

This Mother's Day we went to church (we've become 8 o'clock service people-it's kind of insane but we have a WHOLE day left afterwards which is worth it), then we brought donuts to Chris' mom and grandmother and visited for a couple hours which was really nice.  Then we headed home, switched out our gear and headed to my Aunt and Uncle's weekend home on the river.  My whole fam was there and we had a good time celebrating.  Highlights: Ella and Jason (Marissa's BF) "swimming" in the jacuzzi til they were pruny, grilling and s'mores, Marissa being cutely pregnant and not sick anymore!, my 93 year old grandmother wearing Sadie's hat, Sadie having a bubble machine and half a dozen willing adults blowing bubbles for her for HOURS.  Exhausting and full day but good :-)
