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.

County fair 2013!

The fair is an annual must-do on our calendars. This year we got to go with 3 families we're really good friends with :-) Ella and Sadie were brave and went on the (huge) Ferris wheel! Ella was very nervous and almost backed out butSadie  couldn't wait! Definitely different personalities in those two :-) great time and my annual deep fried Oreos were as amazing as I'd remembered since last August :-)
Watching pig and duck races. Live how these kids are like a little family :-)

Corn pit
Snowballs!

Kayaking and County fair (aka: we do summer days big!)

Thanks to an awesome groupon deal, Ella and I got to go on a kayaking adventure. I loved it. Ella liked it. Is totally go again on this particular tour-it was a gorgeous day and the tour guide was hilarious. So fun to step out of my routine and do something unusual.






A few hours after kayaking we met our POD friends at the county fair. I'm pretty sure we've been every year of Ella's life and it's one of my favorite summer traditions. We lie the pig races, corn pit, animals, and both girls did the huge Ferris wheel this year! Ella was scared but faced her fear and LOVED it. So proud of her. My most indulgent tradition is my annual partaking in the glories of the deep fried Oreo. Nothing like 'em. Deliciousness :-)
