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.

Abuela's Birthday!

My Mom turned 65! Her party was unusual and a lot of fun. Thanks mom for such a fun day and evening! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

First we went to a "bra-stretching" Breast Cancer awareness event where the 10 of us my mom invited brought bras and joined a ton of other women in hooking them together and stretching them almost a mile! It was a cool event and there were a lot of survivors (including 2 in our group!) with great stories.


My grandmother was there-she's a 14 year Breast Cancer Survivor!

Next we went across the street to one of the nicest spas I've ever been to and everyone spent almost 3 hours there getting pampered! It was soooo nice. I must go back...(hint, hint Chris)

Afterwards we had a catered dinner at my parents house, cake, and dancing to live music from my father-in-law's band! Ella stayed up until 11pm and did really well-she cried when we left and I'm sure I was more tired than she was (she napped for 4 hours that afternoon in preparation!) Great party :-)
