Two Articles I wanted to share..

Hey guys,

Here are two articles that I wanted to share. The first applies to those of you who are in that 'overtime' season of parenting that we talked about back in the Randy Carlson study (Or those who will be there soon!). I like what Dr. Leymon has to say, and I think you could take (and leave) some great things from this article.

The second article is from InCourage, which is a blog that I read daily. All of you moms out there, I encourage you to read this when you have time. It is a wonderful article, and I hope it gives you some reminders of why we, as moms, do what we do... why we persevere when the days are long and hard, and also as a reminder of how short of a time our kids are with us. Obviously this is a personal letter written to her kid, so parts of it are very specific, but overall it is a wonderful blog.

Thanks, love you guys!

Hi guys, I missed you all so much last night, can't wait to see you all next week!! I know this is early but we are going out of town tomorrow so I wanted to get it sent out before we left. Please note: We have some really important things to discuss next week. #1. We will be having a prayer time to send Chris & Anntonette off and to bless their trip to Haiti and #2. We are discussing childcare (as a group, even if you don't have kids). So PLEASE try your hardest to attend on Tuesday. We will also be welcoming our world traveler's back (Berna & Horia, thats YOU). Excited to see you all next week, please let me know ASAP if you can't make it.

Magnuson: Salad Dressing (maybe two kinds)
Shiver: Dessert
DeHerrera: Bread
Zaragoza: Drinks
Gonzales: Paper Plates
Franklin: Off

Please remember, you are only responsible for entree every 9 weeks.. but with that, it means we are cooking for a lot of people, so keep that in mind when you are preparing your portions!

Thanks guys, have a GREAT week/weekend!
