All Clean

Tonight we gave Lincoln his first "tub" bath since his little cord stump finally fell off. We also started him on somewhat of a schedule today...feeding every three hours, playtime, then nap time for about an hour and a half. It went so-so. :) Hopefully we can get better!! His bath went great - he was so precious (see pictures below) and didn't cry at all! As I'm writing this, though, he's screaming his head off in his crib. This whole "cry it out" thing gets tough :( But it works...he does eventually fall asleep (well, he did this morning, but I'm kind of doubting it right now!).

Today Jason and I spent the day putting flyers all over Siloam for Papi. We've prayed a lot for him today and really put forth a crazy effort to try and find the little guy. I know some of you might think it's trivial, but we really have been distraught that he's missing. Jason said finding him would actually produce better feelings than winning state last year even - gosh we just love that little man. Thanks to everyone that has been helping us find him!!!!

This weekend was Vicki Dee's women's conference...it was such a blessing and I truly enjoyed hearing what god as laid on this amazing woman's heart!!! Those who don't already, you should read her blog. Her link is on my page. One of the points was on praying for your children and it really touched my heart. I plan on writing more about that later.

Another point was about how God is in ultimate control of literally everything. Obviously us Christians know that but how often do we truly believe and practice that?? I know I struggle with this. And again, though this may sound trite, it reminded me (and I was able to share with Jason) that God is in ultimate control of Papi's situation right now and has a greater plan.

I also loved the emphasis on how our children are lent to us from God...they are not our own. Anyway, it was a great conference and like I said, I plan on talking about it more later.

Well, off to hang out with Lincoln. :) He's been a trooper today!
