1st Friday of September

Today was 1st Friday... We had our CCM meeting... This years theme is Proverbs 31... It was fun seeing everyone I hadn't all summer... Everyone also saw all the new babies that had been born since the last 'official' meeting in May... We heard about our friend Sally's trip to Ireland... She lived there for almost a year... Her husband had a job opportunity... We also decided for the first time when to have an evening meeting... I'm not sure if I will make it or not... However it is a nice new option available for those who can't make it to the day meetings... A and B were developmentally screened this morning... They needed to score a 6 and scored a 13 on the Brigance Screening... Isn't that awesome... They will be screened again in about 2 months... After the children came home from school we went to our friend's house in Rural MN... It was our first visit... The children played... We chatted... She is also a mother of twin boys... They turned 2 in August... They are children #7 & #8 of 9 children... She gave me a tour of their house... It is huge and totally awesome... It used to be some kind of business... Pottery I think... I can't wait to see what it looks like once they have finished adapting it to their family's needs... It is a wonderful find... I know they are enjoying all the SPACE... Their previous home was quite small but of course they had 3-5 children (not sure what year they bought it) back then...
