Last August, my friend Angela (Kendall calls her Angel!) told me about her preschool Mom's group she had joined last semester and invited me to join her. It sounded fun ... meeting some other Christian Mommys with toddlers and preschoolers every other Monday for 2 hours, doing fun craft projects, reading & discussing a book each semester and listening to some fabulous speakers about things relevant to us & our stage of life ... it sounded fun & it sure has been! I'm so happy she invited me to join her! I've met some super sweet Mommys, gotten to hang out with Angela more (and our kids love that too!), picked up some yummy breakfast recipes, and just enjoyed some Mommy time with other Christian Mommys ... all while Kendall is downstairs in her own class getting to play, make crafts and play some more!
Each Mom is placed at a table for the year ... each table has a "Mentor Mom" ... we've been the Yellow table this year and our Mentor Mom is the BEST! Her name is Barbie ... she is THE sweetest woman I think I've ever met! She has a grown, married daughter and an adopted daughter who is in high school. Barbie is so sweet, has a great heart for the Lord, has an amazing way of dispensing wisdom and is loved by all! She is just that kind of a woman! She just told us that she & her family will be moving to Tennessee in June ... and we are soooo sad (selfishly) and will miss her greatly! (I was planning on asking to be put at Barbie's table for this next year ... that's how much I like her!)
This year's theme (and our t-shirt) is: Courageous Women ... Doing Life Together. Proverbs 17:17 ... which reads: A Friend loves at all times. During our fall semester we read & discussed a book about friendships ... it was good, but this spring semester we have been working our way through a fabulous book called Mothers of the Bible Speak to Mothers of Today. It's been awesome as it goes through Mothers in the Bible, bringing out new thoughts, perspectives & insights on them, what they dealt with, worked through, their successes & failures ... and what we can learn from them. It's 15 chapters, 15 Mothers that I've learned from ... Eve, Sarah, Rebekah, Rachel & Leah, Jochebed, Hannah, Rizpah, Bathsheba, the Widow of Zarephath, Elizabeth, the Canaanite Woman, Salome, Eunice & Lois, the Proverbs 31 Woman and Mary. It's really been a great semester!
our Yellow table girls ... Kayla (who is expecting in August), Reagan, Barbie, me, Angela and Meredith (who is in charge of Mom's Touch & a children's minister at NRHBC). (There were 4 other table members not here, so I hope to remember to take another picture next week with them!)
After Mom's Touch, Angela & I normally meet up for lunch at Chick Fil A (also known as Chicka Fil A by Kendall) so the kids can play together ... and they all love that!
Today was such a nice day, we decided to take our lunch to a nearby park ... it was a beautiful day out! The last few weeks another one of Angela's friends has been joining us ... Corrie and her son Luke, and daughter Lilly, with Ryllie
Angela and Lyndon
my sweet pea & me
Playing at the park ... sliding, one of Kendall's most favorite things to do!
Just caught up some on your blog. Camping looked fun! Our family loves to camp! Kendall's bed is perfect. She is growing up so fast! Your mom's group sounds very cool!
