Stream of Conscienceness

We have a LOT of snow here. It's pretty crazy--23 inches with 32 inch+ snow drifts. I worked on the taxes today. I was hoping to finish, but it didn't happen. I made a little mistake that turned into a really big mistake that is keeping me from being able to file my state taxes--either by e-file or mail. We had homemade pizza tonight. Just as we took the pizza out of the oven, the power went off. Caleb loved playing with the crank radio. We made valentines today for family members and I made gift tags for the valentines for his school friends. There's no church tomorrow for the second week in a row. I was supposed to have nursery duty. I didn't have nursery duty as a result of the December storm either. There's a good movie on tonight about a guy with Tourette's Sydrome who becomes a teacher. Matt is refusing to watch it. Caleb is having conversations with his trucks. Becky doesn't like the snow and has only been going potty on the porch. We missed 2 1/2 days of school last week and I'm sure we'll miss more this week. There's another storm coming Tuesday night that is supposed to dump another 6 inches. That seems like nothing compared to this storm. I'm not sure if we'll even have a Valentine's Day party. The kids are bringing the same item they were assigned for the holiday party that we didn't have because of the snow. If we aren't there on Friday, we ARE still having a party! It's not fair for them to miss it again. We lost half of a tree in our yard today from the weight of the snow. Good thing Matt's car wasn't in its normal spot.

Did you follow all of that? :)

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...
