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.

Letters

The day before Ella's last day of Kindergarten (and her last day at this school since we moved a couple weeks later), she asked if she could give something to her teachers.  I suggested she write or draw something for them since we'd already given presents to her main teachers the week before.  Over the course of the next few hours, she wrote all of these...with zero coaching, prodding, direction, wording help from Chris or me.  I cry every time I look at them.  She is such a sweet girl.

To an admin/helper in her classroom
To the principal

For the Assistant Principal
To the Cafeteria Ladies:

To her Art teacher

To her Music teacher

To her Gym Teacher

To the teacher who was in Ella's class everyday as the one-on-one help for Ella's good friend Dennis who is in a wheel chair


Love this girl.
