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 ...

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...
