College Progressive Dinner

We hosted some college students for a progressive dinner. We had five students for dinner and four for dessert. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the first group :(, but the students that came were: Kayla (Northeastern), Mike (Wentworth), Rachel (Berklee), Jessica (Berklee), and Max (Boston College). For dessert, we had Robin (Northeastern), Hannah (Boston College graduate), Jeremy (Berklee), and Gemma (Wheelock).

Caitlin was with us too! She helped with Lydia before everyone came so that I could finish dinner and during dinner so that I could eat with everyone. Thanks for loving our Lydia and holding her, even when she's fussy!

Lydia mostly slept while everyone was here. She was wearing one of my favorite sleepers with a matching hat. Aunt Amy bought it for Lydia when she came to visit in September. Thank you, Aunt Amy!

We had a fun night hanging out with college students. Thought I would include the menu for the evening as well:

Dinner:
Spinach salad with goat cheese, craisins, and apples
Chicken Pot Pie
Bread

Dessert:
Apple crisp
Pumpkin pie
Apple cider (dessert beverage)

College Retreat Fall 2011

This was our 6th college retreat. It was at Mt. Monadnock Retreat Center in New Hampshire. The speaker was the pastor of Antioch Community Church in Raleigh, NC, Colby Lehman. The college retreat is always a significant event for college students to get connected with CFCF. Seth loves leading worship at the college retreat. Lydia enjoyed her first retreat!

This is our friend Lauren. She graduated from Boston College in May and is now going through CFCF's day school. She is a passionate lover of God. We love you, Lauren!

Worship during the retreat

When we arrived at the college retreat, it was fall. When we left Sunday morning, it was winter. They got over 20 inches of snow! I was not prepared.
This is our post-college retreat nap. :)

Your Daddy might be a worship leader if you are content as can be on the floor while the band is rehearsing. :) She looks a little mismatched because I didn't plan appropriately for the weather. She is in her infant insert for our Ergo carrier (we like to call it her sleeping bag), with her lovey that Andi made her, and a burp cloth because she is spitting up all of the time. Not sure what to do about that.
