a BIG milestone

By -
Kara is officially a walker! She decided on Monday that she would begin walking and has done very little crawling since. Much like Ethan and Rachel, she tends to crawl around in new and strange places, but after adjusting to her new atmosphere, she will typically begin walking.
I really thought she and I had made a pact that she would save this stuff for after her 1st birthday. I guess not.

It all came way too fast, but she's so healthy and happy, I really can't (and shouldn't) complain.

Awwwww. :) You need to post a video of it! Or should I have said, "pleeeeeease would you post one?" :) hehe. I love the just-learned-to-walk stance. For Gabriel, it involved having his arms kind of up as though he was showing off muscles. lol.

Sorry she didn't wait, but how exciting that is! Now you can officially call her a toddler. :-)

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.
