Off to a great start!

We had a nice time at our open house, and welcomed a few new moms to the mix.  We are looking forward to getting to know each of you, and your kids.  Thanks for coming, and we'll see you next Thursday the 8th at 9AM!

Summer is fading fast....and we are getting started up again!

We are very excited to have our open house and get MOPS meetings going again!  Our open house is Thursday, August 25 from 9 - 11AM.  We will have childcare.  Old members, as well as new prospectives are welcome, and please bring a friend!  We'll enjoy breakfast, catch up, and fill out registration forms if you are interested.  But please, feel no pressure if you are just coming to see what we are all about.  Even if you want to attend a few meetings before you decide if you want to join, that's fine with us!.  The cost for the year is $85, or it can be broken up into a fall and a spring payment, and we do have a couple scholarships available. 
Want to get other moms' tips on potty training?  Taking away the pacifier?  Nursing? Sibling rivalry?  Then come join our group!  We all need to vent, express parental concerns, and share in successes. 
Better moms make a better world.

Busy Bees

Even though we do not have meetings during the summer, our MOPS steering team met several times to get organized, excited, and learn new things about our MOPS 2011-2012 year.  Six moms, and one newborn, went to Corpus Christi to discuss duties, meeting dates, speakers, and new things for this year.  For some reason, it took us about 7 hours to get there....... (nursing baby O while we got some kid-free shopping time, stopping to eat, getting food and drinks for the weekend, and locking the keys in our running car).  We enjoyed the beach, watching the fish taunt us while we tried to catch them, playing games, seeing a double rainbow, and eating out.  We had a great time!!!

The first weekend in August 5 of our leaders went to Nashville for the annual national MOPS convention.  They learned, laughed, bonded, and got pumped up for this year!  At one of our upcoming meetings they will be sharing with us their new wealth of knowledge. 

Our summer also consisted of numerous birthday parties, library story times, swimming, and play dates.  It's great to have friends with kids, who have the freedom to get together to socialize and let our kids' relationships grow as well.  If this sounds nice to you, MOPS may be just what you need!
