If you're here looking for the summer schedule, look at the two previous posts.
I just wanted to remind everyone that I'm stepping down from leadership for the Mom's Group. Think and pray about your role. Here's the basic items that generally need to be covered
-when to start the study in the fall
-what to study (ideas include Bible studies, book studies, videos series, etc)
-childcare
-snack sign up
-coffee & tea prep and cleanup
-tables & chairs set up and cleanup
-special days (holiday crafts, kids playdays etc)
This doesn't have to be one person! I've normally had at least one other person helping in some way make sure all these areas are taken care of. If you feel like helping us keep the Mom's Group going, talk to me, talk amongst yourselves. Thank you, ladies, for letting me serve you in this way for the last 4 1/2 years! You are my dear friends and I look forward to many more hours with you.

Friday Fun
It's cold. Is that an understatement or what?! If your little ones are like mine, we're all bouncing off the wall, so Marci offered to sponsor us all to play at the indoor playground out on the base. We're meeting at the Muldoon gate (just drive on past Target, if you can resist that siren call) at 10:30 AM on Friday January 9. Call Marci if you need directions. See you there!
UPDATE: I'm a dork. We're meeting at BONIFACE gate. Hope nobody goes to the wrong gate......

January
Ladies, sorry for not keeping up with this. At least there are now more of us with babes in arm! For January, we have speakers lined up for the 6th and the 20th. We're still meeting in the Fellowship Hall with the sitters and kiddos upstairs. I told our speakers to start at 10:30, and I'll be there at 10 to start the coffee and hot water. We may start up Mom's Only nights again, if I don't keep you posted, remind me. =) And if anyone is interested in signing up to win a $25 Kroger gift card (you can use it at Fred Meyer), head over to www.5dollardinner.com.

Tuesday Sept. 30
Kristine and I are meeting at the Imaginarium at 10:30 AM if anyone else would like to join us. I think she called some folks, but my pregnant brain fritzed about calling others.
Next Tuesday, October 6 we're meeting in the Fellowship Hall to discuss chapters 2 & 3. There are two books still on the back table of the church if anyone needs a copy. I just was looking at the author's blog and finding her writing there encouraging and honest (ie, she has hard days with her kids too!!).

Samuel Roy is here!
Samuel was born Wednesday September 24 at 7:48 PM, 20 1/2 inches and 7 pounds 14 ounces. He's a beautiful baby, and man does Marci have a great story to tell about his birth. I thought everyone might enjoy seeing some of his first pictures.
Gazing at mommy. Doesn't it look like he's smiling at her!?

Sept 8 & 9 and Books
- The books are here! Yep, my husband found them on the doorstep on Tuesday; they arrived while we were meeting in the Fellowship Hall. I will have them at church on Sunday. If you can reimburse the church $10, that would be great. We'll meet on Tuesday September 16 at 10 AM to discuss chapters 1 & 2 - Nancy is signed up to lead, Kristin signed up for snack.
- Monday is Marci Garland's baby shower! Her little guy is due September 22, and she's registered at Babies R Us for gift ideas. The shower is Monday, 7 PM in the Haven (park in the Chapel parking lot and walk on the path to the house just north of the parsonage).
- We had talked about meeting at Chili's on Tuesday Sept 9 at 8 PM, but Liz Bate has opened her home to us this month! Contact Liz or me if you need directions (I don't feel comfortable posting them on the web.....)

Isn't it ironic?
Hi Ladies,
As discussed at our meeting today, the books had not arrived at my house in time to pass out. While I was still at church talking with Pastor Ken and Pam, my husband called to say that the box was on the front porch. I'll bring them to Awana on Wednesday evening, and also to church Sunday morning. If you want to swing by my house to get it sooner, just give me a call. I'll post the book reading/discussion schedule soon.

Fall Start Up
Hi Ladies,
We start our fall meetings tomorrow, September 2! Meet in the Fellowship Hall at 10 AM, bring a snack to share, and we'll set a schedule for the rest of the fall. Unless the mail arrives before I leave for church, unfortunately we won't have our books (they didn't arrive as quickly as advertised......) We will have childcare tomorrow, though! See you soon.

Beginning of August activities
Hi Ladies,
WOW! The weather is beautiful today! We're meeting at the Chapel @ 10 AM and then driving to Girdwood to play at the big castle playground. Maybe we'll stop for ice cream afterwards.
Tuesday August 5th we'll play at Anchor Lutheran School - 8100 Arctic Blvd., between Dimond and 76th Ave. They have a nice playground with a car, sand play and swings.
Easy to find!
Friday August 8th is hiking at Campbell Creek 10:30 - Meet at the Campbell Creek Science
Center parking lot and we’ll hike to the creek, throw rocks and eat.
Jogging stroller friendly. The Science Center is off Elmore Rd Hiking there doesn't involve much up/down hills like other places around here, they have a nice walking path.
Looking ahead again - Here are some book ideas and I'm open to others.
The Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson
Grace Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel
Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World by Joanna Weaver
Give me your input; I'd like to order the books by August 25th or so.

July 22 10:30 AM playtime @ Oceanview Elem. 11911 Johns Rd., off Klatt
July 22 8 PM mom's only sanity evening - we haven't had any volunteers to host while Tami is taking a break, so how about we meet somewhere? Borders is open pretty late, plus they have books (my favorite) and coffee (a close second favorite).
July 25 Prospect Heights 10:30 - Meet at the Abbott and Lake Otis Fred
Meyer (Starbucks side:) and we’ll caravan to the Prospect Heights
trailhead, hike to the creek and picnic. It’s a wide, jogging stroller

Looking Ahead
I'm hoping to be involved as much as possible this fall, but with Little Guy due in October, I know there will be weeks that we won't be able to attend. I'd like to start setting up things for the fall though, and wanted to know your interest areas. We can set up speakers for 2x/month, we can look at some book studies, we could pursue another Bible study like last fall/spring. Any other ideas? Leave a comment so we can start planning. And we'll need babysitters again..... I like meeting in the evenings 2x/month and would like that to continue. Tami asked for someone else to host for this month, any takers or ideas of where to meet?

Friday June 27 Change
Hi ladies,
Cathy's kids have the stomach flu, so we've opted to not drive out there this Friday. (Poor mommy, it was her anniversary today!) Plan B is now to meet at my (Ruth) house at 10:30 and walk to Hamilton Park. From there, we can take turns staying with kids and walking to Bell's Nursery to inhale the beauty of fresh plants, gorgeous housewares, and delicious coffee. I'm going to bring a picnic lunch for my kids, there's picnic tables and lots of green grass, plus a preschool sized playground. If you need directions to my house, call me 677-1464.
FYI, if you want something for free, come to my blog and sign up if it's something you're interested in. =) (I'll try to get it posted by 10:15 PM Thursday). Otherwise, you can just come see pictures of Baby Boy from the ultrasound earlier this month.
Cathy's kids have the stomach flu, so we've opted to not drive out there this Friday. (Poor mommy, it was her anniversary today!) Plan B is now to meet at my (Ruth) house at 10:30 and walk to Hamilton Park. From there, we can take turns staying with kids and walking to Bell's Nursery to inhale the beauty of fresh plants, gorgeous housewares, and delicious coffee. I'm going to bring a picnic lunch for my kids, there's picnic tables and lots of green grass, plus a preschool sized playground. If you need directions to my house, call me 677-1464.
