Jeri Hausmann, Director Mother's Day Out

As I wipe my second generation of noses and bend down to tie my second generation of shoes, it becomes quite evident to me that I am the "Senior" staff member of St. Paul Church. I am beginning my 25th year (Fall 2007) as the Director of St. Paul Mother's Day Out. I started in this position when my youngest son, Michael was 18 month old. This fall, his son, Laine is a newly enrolled 2 year old in our program

My husband, Duane & I were married at St. Paul Church by Reverend Eichenlaub 35 years ago. Together we share the house we have lived in for the past 30 years with our "baby girl", a Westie, named Zoey. We are thankful that our children, Melissa, Matt, Michael & his wife Carlie have chosen to live and work in the Belleville area.

We love to travel. Our favorite destination is just one block from our house, where our grandsons, Braedyn & Laine live and play. We also have discovered a little bit of heaven, very near the Arkansas border, in the small town of Shell Knob, Missouri. Every chance we get to relax, we enjoy camping and boating there with family and friends.
