One month, one week, & one day old.

These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.  Deuteronomy 6:6-7

I was just going to use this blog to keep friends and family and anyone else joining us in prayer over our baby up to date on her condition, medical procedures, doctor appointments, etc.  But it dawned on me today that I cannot separate her physical journey in this world from her spiritual journey.  This babe has had praying hands laid on her since she was in the womb. She has been covered by prayer since before she was born.  Every time we are faced with scary medical tests/ procedures, every time we take a moment to think about the surgeries she faces, perhaps 2 even before her first birthday and are overwhelmed with fear and sadness, we gently place her in God's hands.  He created her, He knows her future.   

Today we had Cailynn dedicated in church. Usually I wait until the babies are a bit bigger, but I don't know what is in our future so I thought the sooner the better in her case. Every other Sunday at church, Cailynn sleeps quietly almost the whole service. Today, she was quiet but alert until the singing stopped. Then she got fussy, and by the time Pastor Joe got her, she was out-right furious!!! Oh well...

Here are a couple of pictures off my camera (the family one is not so great!).  Hopefully my friend got some better ones on her camera!

And this is at the church picnic later that afternoon "eyes open!" as her big sister would say!
