when they arrived

By -
I forgot to bring a camera to the train station, so we took pictures when we got back to the house. 

my mom was showing the kids some recent pix she took of their cousins. 

I loved this one of Rachel playing w/Mom's hair :) 

Kara got warmed up to Papa right away... 
... and the two of them became buddies all week.

Ethan took this one... 
... and this one

then my Mom surprised him by taking this one...

..... and here was his reaction :-)

Thanks! I went to your blog last week, just to check and see if you've updated. I miss all the "old" blogs. Darn Facebook :-p

oh goodness, its super easy. do you see the logo in the far left top corner of my blog? Says something like shabbyblogs or something? Click on that and then click on "background" and you can see all the choices to chose from. I can talk you through it on the phone sometime, if you'd like.

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.
