poopy buisiness

well.... I don't want to gross you out...so if you have a weak stomach don't read on. :)
I was getting Zoë ready for bed tonight. You know, the usual feed, burp, change etc. I called down to Paul to see if he would like to do the duty of putting our little girl to bed for the last time because I was leaving the next morning. So Paul came and took the baby and went to change her clothes for bed and check the diaper. Well, I was in the other room and I heard..."ahhh...ahhhhh....AHHHHH!!!" I was like? what in the world is going on? Poor Paul had taken his finger and checked Zoë's diaper and low and behold... she was poopy!! He had poop all over his fingers. So I came up laughing trying to help him. :-) He said that he learned his lesson and will never check a diaper that way again.

A lot going on

I don't really know what this post is supposed to be about except to say that there is a lot of spiritual warfare going on right now. I never feel quite adequate to deal with things and that is a lie. I may not be able but Christ through me is ALWAYS able. I was thinking tonight how quickly we can become stagnate in our daily walk with Christ if we are not putting on the armor of Christ. It is a conscience, daily habit that you must get into. I want to be a good example of what it is to be a follower of Christ to my daughter Zoë and to people around me. That means that I should not "fake" a walk with Christ... I mean, I know that I am saved, but how is Christ rising from the dead changing the way I live daily? How I treat people? How I serve? etc. etc. Just my thoughts tonight.

We ate with Gloria and Ron and Maddie at a great Thai restaurant in Silverton OR. The food was wonderful and they gave us a free dessert. Well it was like Tapioca and it was not Paul's thing. Here he is holding a "gel" ball as he called it.

Zoë charming the crowd.
