its lunch time ....

... and I thought I'd take pictures of my sweet kids. 
We've had a really good start to Jason's early schedule. He and I were up and out of the house by 6am (the kids stayed here in bed, with my sister here) and we were able to have such nice conversation, just the two of us. Enjoyed Noah's bagels with coffee on the way into the office. 
I came home and read my Bible, had a quiet time of prayer, took my shower, got my day started, made breakfast and then went to get the kids up at 8am. It was lovely. The day has gone so smoothly and I can't believe in 2 hours, I'll be leaving to get Jason from work! 
I think we're going to love this quicker than we thought :) 


Here are some pictures I took of this kids at lunchtime.

I don't like Ethan's Mohawk at all!!!
It makes him look way too grown up! :)
My Zah-Zah looks beautiful & happy!
And I LOVE that Kara has become friendly with the camera...what a big girl! :)
I miss you all--Mom/nana

The new schedule has been a-mazing!! The kids were all tucked away in bed by 8pm tonight, nice and tired out :)

Mom, I agree. The mohawk does make him look way too big :( I told him that this morning and he said "its not the mohawk, Mommy, its just my body and face."
So there you have it :)

Wow, with a schedule like that it probably feels like the day just flies by before Jason gets home! And how nice to have time together, and have Emily around to stay at home while the kids sleep.

It is nice, Krista! And you're right... the time just flies by. Yesterday we were almost an hour late to pick him up, because 3pm snuck up on me SO fast.
Having Em here has been a blast, on many levels!

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 ...

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.  ...
