Hello Ladies!
Next Thursday is our next chance to join us for MOPS! We will be having a guest speaker from the "Fussy Baby Network" join us to speak about setting boundaries. This should be an exciting time and a great opportunity to learn some parenting tips that could prove quite useful. :o)
Also, next Thursday night (Feb. 26) we will be having the first MNO of the year! What's, MNO? MNO stands for Mom's Night Out. It's a chance for you to leave the kiddos with their daddy or a sitter and join with other moms for a night out on the town. For this MNO we will be checking out a movie and grabbing a cup of coffee afterwards. If you'd like to join in the fun, contact Thiele for more details at t.generous@gmail.com.
God bless until next time!

A Farewell to Jes
After serving faithfully in the role of MOPS Coordinator for the past 1 1/2 years, Jes and her family are leaving Chicago for a much warmer climate. Jes' husband George is employed in a job that is taking the family from Chicago to Tampa, FL beginning next Friday (Jan. 30th).
We are very reluctant to let her leave (as if we have anything to say about it), but sincerly hope that God will bless her in the transition. We know that Tampa is on temporary, and they will likely be going back to their home in Houston, TX after March (with a possible short reprieve in Chicago) - in other words, they will be moving around a LOT in the next few months.
Jes will still remain in communication with us and will give us updates as to what is going on and how things are going. We will miss her.
For the rest of the semester, Erin Sanders will be taking on the role of the Lakeview MOPS Coordinator. Erin is currently the administrator for the group and will do a wonderful job in the interim. She has some large shoes to fill, so please continue to keep her in your prayers. Erin's e-mail is emsanders@hotmail.com should you ever need to reach her. She will also have access to the mopslakeview@hotmail.com e-mail account as well, so you can continue to use this address for any questions or communications.
We have a 3 week break due to where dates fall on the calendar until our next MOPS meeting. Until then, may God bless you greatly! Stay warm!

StageHands
Hello Ladies!
I hope everyone is staying warm!
This Thursday Jen Frahm's friends from Stagehands will be coming to present.
What is StageHands? (No, it doesn't have anything to do with drama or make-up.) StageHands is a company that stages people's homes. Staging is a way of setting up your rooms that makes it more open, appealing, and inviting. Most people opt to do this when they are trying to sell their home, but the principles are the same if you just want a fresh look for your room. They will also give us some keen insights on interior design and layout as well as show us several "before and after" pictures.
You can check out their website at http://www.stagehandhs.com/
Look forward to seeing you soon!
