signs of a warm{er} Spring

By -
   Here in Washington, this is how we use umbrellas :)

   we dance with them, use them as forts, and shield ourselves from 'bad guys'.

 Spring time means... lunch on the back deck. 

    worn out from running {every mom loves to see this}


the exploring never ends.

Love the pictures. I'm wishing for green grass. But we have a couple of months left with snow!

Love the pictures of your baby belly!! We'll be praying for a very safe delivery.

Charlotte, where do you live? I thought you were in the Bay Area(?) I feel like they've not really had winter yet, but maybe I'm wrong.
I love winter, but Spring is just breathtaking and so fun to be able to be outdoors more (comfortably) and enjoying different parts of God's beautiful creation!

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.

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.  ...
