What Did I Do Today?

...got woken up by my sister, completely forgetting to pick up Caleb at her house!

...ate the 20th Almond Hershey bar in the last week...oh so good!

...gave Caleb two doses of Motrin in an effort to try to kick his fever (didn't work!) :(

...had Caleb drink pear juice to try to get him to go potty...it worked...a little too well...

...tea stained 50 Bible verses for VBS

...rolled said verses into scrolls and tied them with raffita

...painted and drew designs on rocks with Owen and Sara

...had two poop issues at the same time (with two different kids)

...put said poopy kids into the bath tub and scrubbed them down

...made homemade lemonade again (I'm addicted)

...ate homemade popsicles with three very sticky (but happy) children

...watched a Veggie Tales video that was modeled after Indiana Jones

...vacuumed the main floor of the house

...mopped the kitchen, foyer, and the bathrooms

...cleaned the 1/2 bathroom...only to do it again after the poop issues insued

...made signs for our RFL sales table

...sent out another email to Relay teammates begging for help

...cooked 3 different meals for 4 different people

...got a letter from the EZPass people telling me that they are going to charge me $1.50 a month to have it now.

...called to cancel said EZPass subscription because I'm not paying that fee when I have only used it 4 times in the last year and a half.

...got some not-so-great news about my job share.

...emailed my principal to ask if there was anything else we could do to keep the job share idea alive.

Busy day...but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

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!!

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

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...
