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.

Celebrations!

There have been SO many parties lately! We hosted a little family party the day after Ping and Silas got back from China a few weeks ago and since then we've been to 5 birthday parties (Rylan, Daniel Peter, Emily, Jake, and Aaron) and have 2 more coming up soon. Lots of celebrating and not a lot of pics but here are a few :-)

Uncle Dave and Baby Silas-who is hardly a baby anymore!

One of the birthday boys and his mom, my sweet friend Ana

This is my friend Kristen's daughter, Holly-we don't see them very often but I always think of her as Ella's hair twin! (except hers is longer and red of course!)

Pastor Dan helping Ella figure out a goody bag toy. It's SO fun to see him interact with Ella since he did our pre-marital counseling and knew us really well before she was even a thought!

Dancing videos

One night as we were getting ready for bed, Ella decided she wanted to show Chris and me what she's learned in dance class (which we only got to go to once before they cancelled it-bummer). It was SO cute!
