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.

3 and a half !!!

Last week Ella turned 3 1/2! Just like last year, she's SO interested in her birthday it's fun to celebrate the half birthday since a year is a long time to say "no, it's not your birthday yet" and see her sad little face. So, we made cupcakes and a cake (Ella's request) and it got a little wild but what's cooking with a 3 year old, excuse me three and a half, if you don't get some chocolate in your hair?


It started out pretty tame with some mommy-sanctioned licking


Then she started painting her face!




Eating the finished product, one bath and a lot of washed dishes later ;-)


Happy 3 1/2 Ella! We love you so much and cherish celebrating you on any occasion we can find. You are a gift from God!
