So I finally caught Asher smiling - well, mostly smiling. He seriously sees the camera/phone and stops smiling! My friend Michelle and I were at Winco when he just decided to be so happy and smile over and over again... it was the cutest thing ever! Here is the evidence for all of you to see!
Asher has been a pretty easy baby. Not too much screaming... but once he's hungry, there's no consoling him! He's like his dad and fights falling asleep but other than that, things have been pretty good. It's tough not to have things be laid out for me - I'm sure all you moms know how unpredictable children are :-) I'm finding more and more that God desires me to let go and just relax. When I think about my life and imagine being laid back, taking it easy and just dealing with things as they come along I almost cry! Good tears (no worries) b/c it would be so nice, easy and well, relaxed! Why not? What reason do I have to try and plan things out? I just get disappointed when things don't work out... am I seriously that dense? What could be easier than just going with the flow? Sure, some times do call for planning but not each second of the day. I've been shocked at how much I could learn in such a short time and I hope to be learning this lesson I've described very, very soon! I want to be open to God working however He decides so I need to be open to Him changing my plans and look at the fluctuations as chances to have Him work through me!

Cute pics!
The Lord bless you as you learn to go with His flow instead of your plans. I'm still trying to get that lesson down - after all these years!
