Welcome to our new layout! We're glad you've stopped by for a visit. We're enjoying life as God gives it, feeling so very blessed by His goodness to us. Our 3 kids keep things very lively and interesting around here and make life 3 times more enjoyable. If you're a first time visitor, please let us know how you heard of our site! Pictures are available for registered users.
Even without pictures, the website must go on! I feel like this jastef.net account is cursed. Back at eatsleepandrun I had such good traffic and the site felt like it was worth keeping. Every time we've gone back to this one, we feel like its a complete downer to everyone. Maybe not. I guess we just get less comments over here. Who knows...
Our Memorial Day weekend was lovely! Saturday was our 2nd and final garage sale. We made about $145 and sold a lot of little odds and ends and a couple big items. Its nice to have the garage looking more empty and ready to organize. Our old kitchen table with chairs didn't sell, so we're going to donate that to a family at our church, who's sending their daughter on a missions trip to Uganda. They're having a big sale this Saturday to raise money for her trip, so we're hoping our table and chairs will sell for them.
Sunday was quite nice. I feel like the sermons lately have really been speaking to my heart. Like they were made for me, for that specific week. Its been a huge blessing. We're hearing sermons through the book of Mark and Sunday's was on chapter 4.
After church our friends the Rippees came over for the afternoon/evening. I thoroughly enjoy spending Sunday with God's people. Its such a refreshing way to start the week; great conversation and good fun and fellowship.
Monday was also a great day - Jason had a meeting to go to in the S.F area, so he left in the morning and the kids and I spent the earlier part of the day cleaning their rooms, sorting through stuff in the garage and cleaning off outside toys, to pull out, now that the weather is nice. After Jason got home we all went to our friends the Jerralds house for bbq and water fun! There were 4 families represented (all of which I know from CBS) and we had a blast together - thank you Heather and Roy for hosting! We ended the night with a walk down to Loard's Ice Cream and then headed home for baths and bed. It was an awesome weekend!
What did you all do? I love hearing about how people spend the holidays, so don't be shy and do tell. :)
Tomorrow we're going cherry picking with a group of our friends. Ethan remembers how much fun he had last year and is terribly excited about tomorrow. Have a great week everyone!
I Wish We CouldSubmitted by Erin Adams on Tue, 2009-05-26 20:55.
Ah! I wish we could go cherry picking tomorrow, too. What fun!
We went to a Bbq at Josh & Steph's last night. Other than that, just stayed around our house trying to recover from a bad night of sleep (or lack of it, I guess I should say!)

The girls and I made a trip to TN to see a really good friend. We stayed overnight and had lots of fun!

I loved hearing from you two! Erin... life with a newborn is usually uneventful. You guys have done great though, with little trips here and there! I give you lots of kudos. :)
BBQ sounds fun! We love having relaxing fun on holidays like these.
Your trip sounds like a blast, Jenn!

We were down in southern CA for Memorial Day (as you know) and we went to the movies and saw Night at the Museum 2. VERY funny movie!
And to respond to your thoughts on this blog, I must admit that I often don't leave comments on this blog (like I did on your other one) b/c I have to sign in every time. Maybe there is a way to leave it signed in? IF you have any tips, let me know!
But, I do read! :)

Hi Jill - it's funny - my account doesn't make me have to re-sign in every time. There are a couple of possible solutions for this:

Hey Jill,
I wondered if that's part of the problem. I almost went back to blogging at eatsleepandrun just to see if there was a change, but decided against it. As long as people still read and aren't totally bored by our posts. :) I mean, some of these are for our kids to read someday as well, but still... I'd hate having wasted online space. :)
When we get the camera replaced it will be happier looking with more updated pictures!
