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.

Baby Meet Up!

 I have a great group of college friends who I am still pretty connected to after ELEVEN years since graduating!  So, get this, last year 5 of my close girl friends from college had babies!!  Jennifer first with Henry, Annie 6 weeks later with Joe (who is 1 today!!), then I had Sadie in August, Kathy had Elsa in September, and Libby had Maggie in October.  How WEIRD is that??  We obviously did not plan this but it's been awesome to share pregnancy and baby-world with them.
         Yesterday I was able to meet up with Annie and Kathy in a random town that just happens to be midway for us coming from different directions. My friend Kathy and I met there last December where I got to tell her in person that we were pregnant. A few months later, she found out she too was pregnant and yesterday, we finally got to meet each other's babies!  My dear friend Annie was able to join us too since she lives close by (which means I get to see her all the time!!) and our 4 kids (2 years old and under) did great while letting the mommies catch up.  So thankful for these women and the role they've played in my life since I was 18 years old!

Sweet little Elsa!

Yes, we did let them play on the floor under the table at the coffee shop :-)

Lucy was the "big girl" at this playdate and was so sweet and well behaved the entire time!  She loved having the babies sit on her lap and voluntarily fed them her cheerios!


We explored the town and got to see some sailboats on the water

Sadie (10 mos), Joe (one day shy of 1 year old!), Elsa (8mos), Lucy (1 day shy of 2 1/2)
