Book Club

Betsy, Jeff (the leaders) Chris holding Paige (almost 6 months), Kristi, Ross(minus Amanda!!), Matt holding Nora (almost 2 months), Amber

We had our first night out taking Nora. We joined a book group for newly married couples through our church back in January 2007 right after getting married. We met at our group leaders house and read books on marriage and got together and discussed them. It was a great way to jump start our marriage. It was so great to get together with people in the same walk of life as us, we were all newly married or just recently engaged. So we could all understand the trials and blessings that come with couplehood!
Now it is 2 years later and all the couples have new babies or are expecting babies so guess what kind of books we are reading now? Yep, parenting books. Again it is so great to have other couples to bounce questions off of and get advice from. We all have a great faith which helps when our babies are up at 3am in the night (we can pray to God for the strength to be able to get through the next day going on no sleep!!!)
We look forward to watching all our kiddos grow up and change right before our eyes.
Oh, another reason we love book group, is that Betsy is the best cook. Matt sometimes goes without eating supper so he can eat more of Betsy's bars, desserts, and dips!
