MOPS

This morning I was privileged to speak at a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) meeting.  These women were beautiful mothers and grandmothers that want to raise their kids as best they can in a difficult world.  There were several sweet newborns there.  Children grow up to fast. These Mom's want to do the best they can and meet together to encourage one another, help one another, and find the best resources to help with the big task of raising kids.

I am proud of these ladies getting together.  This is one of those meetings that is totally worth getting into your very busy schedule.  If you get an opportunity to go to MOPS do it.  You won't regret meeting new people, moms and ladies that are in the same situation you are.  It is non-denominational and open to all. 

Snow Fun

Our fox has been hanging around lately.  All the other animals have been enjoying the bird feeder, why not Blondie?  She is enjoying one of the stale bagels that I threw out there this morning.  It is blueberry.  I also threw out stale bread, several slices.  The deer and magpies enjoyed those.  It is hard for them to find food after a snow, so I figure that someone might as well enjoy the old stuff, right?

Casey and Sebby are spending quality time together.  They were going to sled down the very slight hill in our backyard, but it proved not to be such a good idea.  Then they tried building a snow man, but the snow is so dry that it just fell apart.  So they flopped down and made snow angels.  That was a success, but it was a chilling experience as they came in the house soon after that.  However, Sebby showed is appreciation to mommy by giving her a big fat kiss of appreciation.
