Bragging Rights

I have been so excited to blog about Baby that I have forgotten to brag about my husband. He has been working so hard here as Team Director and learning new responsibilities. We are learning still how to balance ministry and family life and we are getting better by the day. AND, on top of that, he is also using his amazing PR talents to start some campaigns on campus that I think are catching the eyes of many students. Isn't he amazing?!

This is the Bible Study design that was put on posters, business cards, and postcards to put in the students mailboxes. A number of people stated how impressed they were with how cool and professional they were.

This design was made for an event on natural family planning. We did not reveal much about the event prior to it, to attract students that might not normally be interested in hearing our message. We had over 100 students come and most students walked away with a new perspective on what contraceptives can do to your body and the environment.

This is his latest invention, a campaign for the 7 am Men's Rosary where the men pray for the women on campus! The goal is to show others that we are Catholic and proud of it. He is making posters with different faces and quotes about the rosary, from Pope Benedict to Chris Farley, all rosary sayers.I will post those soon! They're my favorite!

And of course little baby Laskowski (taken this morning). We can't wait to meet the little Babe and we will find out the gender on October 19!

Marathon

Jacob completed the half Marathon in Chicago this past Sunday!!! We are so proud of him!

My brother Cory also visited this weekend and filmed a commercial that will be on EWTN sometime in the future. When he is done editing it I will post it. I was in it too!

Ladies Night

On Monday night we had our first Ladies Night with our student leaders. I think it was a hit. We pampered our lady students a little bit and reminded them that they are daughters of the greatest King which makes them Princesses!!! It was just great to bring the women together and learn about femininity as a group!

Catch Up

Hello. Lots to update here. Above all, little Baby Laskowski is doing well. We have had 2 doctors appointments since I last wrote and we have a picture of the baby and we heard the heartbeat. The second visit we even heard the baby kick! I am feeling much better and my belly is growing a little bit. Here are some fun pictures...

Head and growing brain on left and bum and feet on right. I find it's better when I squint. :)

 

Our fantastic new team Steve, Amy, Joanna, Me, Jacob, and Brett in the back! I look really pregnant. I'm not that big.

Fall Outreach has gone really well! Tons of ways for Catholic students to get involved. This is Joanna after our pizza and root beer keg. It was a hit! Bible Studies will start soon!

 We also had a camping trip that was a great environment to talk and be real with students and get ready for the year.

Last but not least our team visited the UIC team in Chicago. It was Mark's birthday! (in the orange)

Much more to report soon! God is so good to us. Baby is well. Students are growing and loving Christ and we love our jobs! Keep us in your prayers!
