Ella Squared!

Ella Whitney's biggest fan outside of her family is Ella Jules. Ella and her parents, Kevin and Stephanie, started coming to our church Home Community group this last Fall. It was a fun coincident that both parents had named their daughters Ella. Ella is not a family name for any of us. It is simply a name we all loved and gave our daughters.



Sharing a name has given the two girls a bond. Ella Jules loves and adores Ella Whitney. When she gets to the house for Home Community she starts by looking for "baby" Ella as she calls her. When they first met, we told Ella Jules that this was baby Ella so she would understand that they both had the same name. Well, "baby" Ella has become Ella Whitney's name for Ella Jules. You can often hear Ella Jules saying baby Ella, baby Ella when they are in the same place.

It is so sweet to hear the two of them. If Ella Whitney is eating or making noise or any thing, Ella Jules is right there with her laughing or trying to help her. I love that Ella Whitney has such a friend and fan in Ella Jules. They have a good time together even though they are nearly two years apart.



Some times Ella Whitney will go and stay with Ella Jules and her mom while I have to be at work. Good times are had by all. Ella Jules enjoys having Ella Whitney at her house. (Though it can be hard to share momma!) Ben and I are very grateful that Stephanie can watch Ella Whitney for us some times. It is great to know that she is with her biggest fan.

They are so sweet together.

Ella Jules will often want to hold Ella Whitney. It is a rather humorous picture to see Ella Jules hold her.

Ella Jules wanted to read to Ella Whitney. She was in her daddy's lap and Ella Whitney was in mine.
