morning goodness

By -

These pictures are about a month old, but I loved them so much I wanted to post them. I love hearing Ethan try and read the words in the book. On this morning he was trying so hard to sound out each word (he actually got the words "go" and "truck"!) and Rachel was very intently listening and saying "Good job, Efan! Good job wif your reading!" I was very impressed as he sounded out the word "truck". Keep in mind he went at it for about 5 minutes straight, very intent on figuring out what it says. When he realized it spelled "truck" he said to Rachel, "I don't know why there's the letter c and k, because they both say they same thing!" My thoughts exactly, son. :)

I woke up to the sound of their voices and, realizing they were up before me, I got out of bed quickly to see what they were doing... this is what I found.

Rachel's such a good cheerleader. :-) Ethan is doing great--what motivation he has to figure things out on his own. That will make school easier. :-)

Oh man... Rachel is Ethan's biggest fan, that's for sure. We went to IKEA yesterday and left Ethan home with my parents since he had AWANA and, even though Rachel had a blast, she kept saying "I just miss my brudder Efan."

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be sure to l

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.
