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.

We're Looney...just the way I like it

Random recent pics that I couldn't pass up posting...


Ella got her face painted recently at a birthday party and insisted that we take her picture before she washed it off. FIRST TIME EVER she's asked to have her picture taken! And Chris took about 30 pictures!

Chris and Ella were in a silly mood and I had to run and get the camera...


...then Ella started acting out emotions as we named them until we were all laughing hysterically...I LOVE my family

Excited!


Scared


Happy


Mad

We're a looney little group and I wouldn't have it any other way :-)

New Hiking Spot!

Last week we were introduced to a great new spot to hike that is kid-friendly (lots to see and touch but a nice wide, paved path!). There was a really impressive waterfall (complete with signs letting you know "people have drowned here") and a cool suspension bridge we got to walk over. While we were there Amy got some great pics of Ella. We are TOTALLY in the market for a nice camera like hers!






And finally one horrible sad one :-( I think she was crying because I wouldn't carry her. What a horrendous face!! Way to capture the moment Amy!
