Saturday we will get a bulk of our planning done.. We will keep you posted on how it goes!

Play Date Friday

I am really getting sick of all this rain. I am starting to think that I am never going to enjoy my back yard again.

Since we have already canceled all the play dates that I have had planned, I am going to plan a play date here at my house this Friday, July 11th. Rain or shine. Keep an eye on the weather cause if the sun is going to be out we will be swimming and enjoying the mud puddles that mother nature seems to want to keep full.

Bring lunch for you and your kids.. We usually have a sign up sheet, but I think that it will be easier to just bring your own lunches. I can supply us with lots of ice coffee and juice for the kids. Looking forward to seeing you all this Friday. I miss our FUN play dates.

So a fun play date Friday at Jodi's house! See you there!

Laura Groen's Baby Shower

Today we had a baby shower for Laura, our MOPS Assistant Coordinator.

Laura and her family welcomed the newest member of their family on Saturday June 13th, Case William, weighing in at 10lbs 2oz and 21" long. We like to have baby showers for our new moms after the babies are born. This way it gives us a chance to meet the baby and give mom time to recover.

We had a good turn out and served a salad bar for dinner (which was a big hit).

Laura was able to stock up on lots of diapers, wipes, and some really cute new clothes. Thank you to all who came! Bambi, of course, made an amazing cake that copied the napkin that we used. Thank you to all who came early to help with food set up and who stayed after to help clean up and thank you to Phylis for the fun time putting it all together.
