Where in the world are you?

It's been three exhaustive days. Mr. Fliz and I have been in dire search of the elusive Mater. We've combed the dusty corners of our small apartment, groveled on our stomachs as we make our way through our living room, all the while keeping our eyes open to see if he escaped into the dark, musty underbelly of our sofa, arm chair, or TV stand. It's like he disappeared into thin air. Is he inside our diaper champ? Had he befallen some freak accident?

Micro is currently obsessed with the movie Cars, and is always asking for his toy "Maynar." He was last seen in Micro's hands. And that unfortunately, can be deadly. Micro has yet to remember where he puts his toys--sometimes he'll remember, oftentimes, not. Daddy gave the toy as a surprise gift last week when Micro had come down with a 102 degree fever. When Daddy came home, he surprised Micro with the toy Mater and his eyes sparkled. 

Thankfully, Uncle Arnold was kind enough to surprise Micro with Lightning McQueen and Sally--which took his mind off "Maynar" for a bit. A big hug to Uncle Arnold for the gifts. I have a sneaking suspicion that Mater is hiding right under our noses, and we're just having a hard time sniffing him out. Mo, where is he?

Perhaps he's rendezvousing with other "lost toys" somewhere. Hopefully that's the case, so that he's not all alone. Tomorrow, I'm hoping St. Anthony will hear me and help me find our Mater.
