Not Me! Monday!

I haven't done this in a while, but I'm sure I can think of a few things today!!

I have not become so accustomed to poop balls all over our house that it doesn't phase me to just pick them up and flush them down the toilet. What's more, I definitely did NOT find a stray poop ball in a corner while my mother in law was here visiting. My child is completely potty trained and never poops his pants. NEVER...

I was not freaking out at the prospect of my upcoming massage because I was so nervous to be topless with a stranger! I did not ask several people their advice about what to wear, and I definitely did not switch my outfit several times before Matt finally convinced me to just bring shorts with me. Of course, I did not find myself thoroughly enjoying my massage and telling my husband to get me a gift certificate for Christmas!

Matt's lawmower didn't breakdown AGAIN when our grass was in dier need of being cut. Our neighbor didn't take pity on us and actually drive his tractor over here to mow our grass because he saw Matt fighting with the mower. (side note: Matt actually cut the grass using Barry's tractor--we weren't about to let him cut our grass!) Of course, I didn't go into hospitality mode and make a big pasta dinner with peach cobbler as a thank you to our pasta-loving neighbor!

I did not make over 120 pendnats last week while Matt was basically MIA. I spend my hours pining away for my too-often-gone husband, not using my time wisely. I mostly sit by the window with a candle burning waiting for the headlights to turn into the driveway...didn't you know that?

During Shawn and Rachel's rehearsal, I was not snacking on sunflower seeds and root beer the entire time because I didn't eat any lunch. I was not secretly glad I did when I saw that the rehearsal dinner was almost all meat-full.

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...
