So we had quite the evening last night. David and I were hanging out downstairs when we heard the older boys out of bed. So David headed upstairs to corral them back in bed. He then yelled down that Nathan wasn't in his bed. So naturally we started checking everywhere in the whole house. 20 Minutes later we were still looking for him when panic set it. The entire family was screaming his name....and pleading for him to come out wherever he was and still no peep. So this is when we really started getting worried, ran over to our neighbor's house, called a friend who called all our pastors to pray, and called 911. 2 minutes later three policemen arrived and started searching our house. It took us another 20 minutes and finally my neighbor found Nathan way back in our closet. He had a huge flashlight and he is really tall....so reached in and found him. David,myself, the kids, and the policemen had all looked in that closet and not seen him. After the fact, when thinking rationally the chances that he could have gotten out of the house are really slim....but when your child is missing you don't exactly think straight. Let's just say the little man WILL NOT be playing any hide-and-seek anytime soon. Regardless, we are so thankful our baby is okay! It's amazing how innocent this picture makes him look.
I've moved!!!

That is craziness. I am with on the rational thinking thing. You really start to freak out if you can't find your kids. It is amazing how quickly your mind goes to bad places. I am glad you found him. Funny little guy!
I'm glad he decided to hide somewhere in the house. I may need help with this staying calm part when we have kids, since I think losing my child is my biggest fear. I'm glad Nathan wasn't even close being lost though, just hiding! I love you guys.
