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.

Rest Time Photo Story

 In an attempt to get Ella to go to rest time without whining I told her that I was going to let her take the camera with her and she could take pictures of whatever she wanted and we could look at them together when rest time was done.  She took on the challenge (and the warning to not break the camera) and here are some of her (unedited by me) pictures :-)  It's part tour of her room, part art projects, part self-portrait :-) My favorite are how she used tiles from her "Don't break the ice" game to spell out individual letters of her name!  So creative!  We'll definitely be doing this again :-)

Paper doll clothes Ella colored and cut out (this shows only about a tenth of the # she has completed-this kept her busy for MANY rest times)
