C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS!

Matt and I went to my first hockey game last night with our good friends Jenn and Steven. Jenn and I gave Steven and Matt tickets for Valentine's Day.

They played the Ottawa Senators, and it was intense! They ended up losing in the last 30 seconds of overtime, but it was a really good game between two excellent teams. I have to admit that it was much more exciting than baseball!!

Between periods, they did a game with Chris Cooley and some other Redskin player I didn't know. They were quite entertaining!

There was also a short peewee hockey game. There was one little girl who was so much smaller than all of the others that she just couldn't keep up. She just sort of skated (walked is more like it!) around the rink aimlessly until Slapshot carried her off!

I would definitely go to another game. It was a lot of fun with good company! The highlight was the walk back to the car when Steven danced a jig in the middle of the intersection to the beat of the street drummers. The little boys walking near us thought he was so cool! I'm sure his mother was going to have a talk with them when they got to the car about the effects of alcohol....little do they know that this is just Steven's personality!! :) I wish I'd had my camera out then....

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 never wi

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use. At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party! It will take a few posts, so stay with me. I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made. I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag. Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks. I put a round magnet on the back and...voila! A magnet! (note: hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons. Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg. The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture. I used a Lego mold to make the crayons. Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
