a beautiful gift

By -
My good friend Gina {in California} sent us this link tonight, with a very special gift waiting for us when we got there. I had no idea what it was as I clicked on it and was over taken by emotions -- good emotions, when I saw it. What a sweet tribute to our son. What a special way to remember his life!
We feel so blessed by our family and friends who have honored us and our baby by acknowledging that his life was important. His life counted. He will always be a part of our family, no matter how short his life was. God has blessed us and comforted us so much through you all. If you go to the link I gave you can see the full tribute.

We wanted to share Micah's picture in the sand here, so you could all see. 
And we wanted to publicly thank our friends John & Gina for their love and kindness to us. 
We love you guys!

What a sweet and beautiful tribute to your little Micah. You know what I though when I saw this? That our loving God and Father has each of our days numbered for His glory. Also, I thought about what Revelations 21:3-4 "And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, 'Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.'"
What we have to look forward to.
Have a wonderful Easter Stef, celebrating what our Savior did on the cross. Lots of love.

thanks all :)

Gina, we have framing plans in its future :) We have a big wall in our loft area upstairs that needs pictures, so we're planning to hang professionals of each child and this one will go on that wall.

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.  ...
