Pictures of Elizabeth

Here are the much anticipated pics of little Miss Elizabeth Margaret from Daniel's phone. Thanks Daniel for hooking us up with some paparazzi shots. We'd be lost with out you. ;) She is so precious looking and can't wait to meet her in person. Praise God for a healthy baby and for Jonna doing well!

Elizabeth is Here!

Jonna is doing well and baby Elizabeth is here. She weighs 7 pounds 13 ounces (you win Jessica) and she is 21" long. Jonna says that she has chubby cheeks and chubby theighs. All is doing well and I will post a picture as soon as she sends it to me!!

Update

I will post the pictures of Elizabeth after 3pm when I get home. She is a cutie!

Girls Night Out Part 2

Here are a couple of options for the next girls night. Katie would like to go before Emma's surgery, so I was thinking Tuesday Feb. 3rd. I will have been out of town without the kids the weekend before and do not want to leave them again, so I was offering having dessert over at my house. If not, we can wait until the beginning of March and go to Ruths Chris for dessert, or we could do both. What do you think?

****Update***

**Feb. 3rd at Starbucks Riverpark at 8:15pm. Let me know if you can make it!**

Cheesecake Factory Girls Night

I had a great time at Cheesecake Factory last night with the girls that made it! Thanks Lora for the great idea!

Today's MOPS

I really enjoyed the speakers today and the topic. God is funny how he shows you things. I have been wanting to hear about this topic since the beginning of the MOPS year. Today God showed me an example of our topic today. If you missed it, it was on how to navigate the media with your kids. My son is only 3 1/2 but knows that he is not able to watch SpongeBob Square Pants. He came in from playing and I was going to let him finish watching Wow Wow Wubzy for 5 minutes. I was picking up around the house and did not see that it had ended and SpongeBob came on and the second it did Sam said, "Mom, change the T.V." How cool is that! Setting boundaries early on and talking to your children really works, even if you think that they are too young. Just wanted to share. It made me smile that God could show me that today's topic is REALLY important. If you did not make it, we have handouts and it would be great to call someone or your table leader. Have a great day and hope to see many of you tonight!
