Good times with Grace Chapel

Image
By




We had the Grace Chapel youth over tonight for a cookout, and it was lots of fun! It was not an easy decision to leave GC after nearly 4 years, and we really miss those guys! We know that God wants us at Calvert GBC and are so excited about the opportunities we have there, but it was hard to leave the youth group we'd grown to love. Although some of the core GC youth group members were missing because of work and vacation, we had a great time visiting with the Pogars and Roberts families, as well as with Brandon!

Hannah was Caleb's playmate and did a great job of keeping him occupied while some of the others were playing Ladder Ball. Luke was thoroughly impressed with our next door neighbor's collection of classic and RARE VW cars and even got a few pictures. Wally (our neighbor) is so proud of his cars that he is happy to tell you all about them! Tabitha was a pretty good Ladder Ball player, but I can't say as much for Brandon. His first throw landed the ball loop in the trees! After several attempts to get it down with a broom I finally had to get on Matt's shoulders, pull the limb down toward me, untangle it, and throw it down! (He did get better after that!)

We love our GC kids and enjoy all of our time with them. You guys hold a special place in our hearts!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
If you happen to pick up the latest Reader's Digest, there is an article in there about Piper Breinholt , a four year old with CCMS.  If you've been around here a while, you'll remember wayyyyyy back when we first received Abby's diagnosis that I was able to speak to Piper's mom, Reagan.  The article is more about their story and not as much about the ins and outs of CCMS, but I think it's probably enough to get some people googling it and I'm hoping a few will end up here. Every once in a while, I give a blog post the title of Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome so that it would show up in Google.  My ever-present hope is that people will stumble across my blog and 1) be encouraged by the hope we have in Christ, 2) feel a connection with someone in a similar situation as them, or 3) get excited over the miracles that have been performed in Abby's life!!  (a combination of all 3 is great too!)  :)   Notice that it's not to get famous and it ...

Bath Time Photos!!

By
As promised, here are lots of photos of Abby's first bath. Caleb was supposed to be in bed, but the bathroom is right next to his room... "I'm not too sure about this..." Once she learned how to splash, she was all smiles! Her first good hair wash! Gotta protect the trach! She really liked getting water poured on her head.  It was cute! Smiley (and bubbly) for Daddy while he dried her off. All clean!!  (Note the Lysol wipes in that last picture.  They are NEVER far away!)

Imagination Movers Photo Recap

By
Seriously, The Imagination Movers were so much fun!  They played lots of their own music, with some classic rock mixed in for the adults.  There were also quite a few jokes and references to Baltimore, which was kind of fun.   The whole night centered around this robot named Rock-o-Matic, or "Rocko."   This is Mover Scott, and he wears Wobble Goggles that help him see new ideas.  Caleb and Abby have a pair of goggles too.  :) There are 4 main Movers that are part of the TV show, but they have 2 extra movers to play instruments and do back-up vocals in their live tour. Abby finished up her feed before the show started so that she would be free to dance! My dancing queen did NOT want to sit in my lap.  The row in front of us was empty, and that is where she stood almost the entire show--dancing the night away. My Imagination Movers  Caleb did his share of singing and dancing too.  He knows m...
