October Welcomes and Introductions!

This past month was super full of new faces, new babies, and even a new pregnancy announcement. Here's what's going on!

We welcomed Haley to her first YoungLives club!

Also new to club this month were Jaelie and Taylor!

There were TWO brand new baby additions this month! We just love ourselves some cute little baby love.

Jaelie and Taylor welcomed a baby girl in September!

Birthday: September 22, 2011

Stats: 2 lbs. 2 oz, 14 inches

(Kieesha was born three months premature and is still in the NICU. She is expected to stay there until at least December. Please keep Kieesha and her parents in your prayers! We can't wait to see her at club when she's healthy enough to join us!)

Kelsey, David, and big sister Kinley welcomed a boy in October!

Name: Kason Scott

Birthday: October 11, 2011

Stats: 6.5 lbs. 19.5 inches

And lastly, Andi made the announcement that Jalena and Avianna are going to be big sisters! I will be sure to include a picture of her pregnancy cuteness in the upcoming months! 

Wasn't this a busy month?! Congrats to all of you girls and your families! 

September Club

September club marked the kick-off for our 2011-2012 YoungLives group! It was so good to see the girls after several months of break. The kids have all grown so much! Some were just babies a few months ago and now they are walking, talking toddlers! 

Club started off with a humorous attempt to get Tristin and Kinley to race. 

Next, the Mamas shared some of the milestones and achievements their babies reached this summer. Aiden has started eating finger food, says "mama", and has started walking!

LaKeisha brags on how Tristin can sing the whole chorus to a favorite song.

Loryn shows us how Lyllian can give kissy faces

Jalena and Aiden are such good kiddos! Look at them just sitting still and behaving!

All of the Mama's got to pick out goodies for their babies' achievements over the summer. Andi is picking out items for Avianna-- who is now rollling over, and Jalena-- who has started to use the big girl potty. Woo hoo!

We all met in the conference room next and Tanya opened up our club talk with some good songs. Is it just me or does listening to the acoustic guitar just so relaxing?

I think Kinley was captivated by the guitar too!

Robyn prepared a nice devotion about how sometimes our perspective of people, things, even God aren't always accurate. When it comes to knowing God, the one place to look for Truth is in his Word. We will be exploring this topic throughout the year.

Debbie and Carol got to participate in a drawing activity to complement Robyn's talk. This is Debbie's drawing {perspective} of Robyn. Beautiful! 

Lastly, of course, is dinnertime! We were blessed with some homemade chicken noodle soup, cheesy garlic bread, and delicious brownies.

It was a great start to what will be a great year of YoungLives Belton! Thanks to all of those who've supported us to make club happen each and every month.
