I know that this isn't December and since I'm typing, this post isn't really silent either. BUT... Ella has so many pretty holiday outfits that we'll be sporting a different one every Sunday from now until New Year's and sharing them on the blog, Silent Sunday style.

Don't forget to come back tomorrow for the big baby reveal! ...

Don't you love it when God speaks to you? Especially when he answers a prayer exactly the way you wanted or affirms your place in life? What about when He give you a firm no?

Semi-Silent Sunday Letters
Ella LOVES playing with the alphabet. She has a bowl in the kitchen. She carried it into the playroom to work on the fireplace screen... all the while singing the ABCs.
