When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Meeting Cousin Robbie

This past weekend, we took our first trip with Lily. It's was rather interesting. She traveled really well in the car and I was so happy about that! She has a new a cousin that was born on Oct. 8 to Todd's sister and her husband. We traveled to Sandy to meet him, since their ages are so close. Robbie weighs 2 pounds more than Lily does, he didn't seem to be too much bigger than her by the looks of things, but he is definitely heavier! He is SUPER cute and has much more and longer hair than she does. He's a sweet little thing and it was fun to watch them together.
Here are the two dads sporting their newborns. Lily was pretty much oblivious to what was going on.
Here they are in their Boppy Pillows. Lily was kind of fussy when we were taking pictures. They sure looked cute next to each other in their seats.

P.S. She slept 6 hours straight last night! Once I realized that I praised her and gave her LOTS of kisses!
