Happy Fall, Family! Cole Camp is enjoying a beautiful fall...cool temps, blue skies, crisp winds. Some leaves are starting to turn but the best is yet to come!
October in the Boothby home is a busy time! This last weekend we had visitors--Mike's sister Mandy and his aunt and uncle. We enjoyed hanging out with them.
Confirmation is on a roll...Mike teaches that from 3-5pm on Wednesdays. Also on Wednesdays from 3-5, I am helping with our brand-new midweek program with kids from K-6th! It's called WOWW (Wild for His Word on Wednesdays) We have had around 85 kids each week! Praise the Lord.
I am LOVING being home with Elias full-time. He is such a blessing from the Lord and a joy to hug and cuddle everyday. I am finding a rhythm to this house-keeping, baby-raising business. I have joined a MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group in a town about 45 minutes away. We meet once a month (child care provided!) to debrief, fellowship and grow with other moms. I've only been once, but already it is a huge blessing. I have also started a Mom's Playgroup for stay-at-home moms in our congregation. At the first gathering we had 5 moms and 7 kids! We let the kids play, had a snack, and I read a short devotion and led a prayer. We will see where it goes from there.
Highlights this month:
*MO District Pastor's Conference in St. Louis (Elias and I will go with Mike)
*Mike leads a college age Bible Study at Central MO State in Warrensburg
*Rachel and Elias fly to TX for a week for the Cross Sanctuary dedication!
*Mike plans/leads a Reformation Day Bonfire at nearby Heit's Point Lutheran Camp
May God bless you today and always, dear ones! We thank God daily for our loving and supportive family! Don't forget to check the Boothby blog for your weekly dose of cuteness!
Love in Christ, Rachel (and Mike and Elias)
