Stream of Consciousness

I am feeling the baby move around a lot now when I'm sitting still, and I even felt a real kick today. It was pretty exciting! I can't wait for Matt to be able to feel them. I graduated from Notre Dame last week. One of my friends went to his wife's graduation and saw my name in the program. I'm so glad that I'm finally done!! I can officially say that I graduated with a 4.0 and Master's in Elementary Education. There are storms coming to our area. It's supposed to rain tomorrow too, so our field day was postponed until next week. I'm staring at a basket of my husband's laundry that he was supposed to put away on Monday. I'm refusing to do it because it's all his (from his trip last weekend) and it's principle. I really want ice cream. Like really. Like, I have a brand new ice cream maker and am contemplating examining the ingredients needed to see if I have everything I need to just make it, since I can't leave the house to buy any. Matt is at a meeting tonight. He has had a lot on his plate recently. Anyone who says being a youth pastor is an easy job doesn't see the behind-the-scenes work. I tease him, but his job can be pretty difficult. There is a commercial on for Breyer's ice cream. NOT COOL! I have popsicles, but they will not suffice. Ugh, I wish Matt was home (or on his way home) so that he could buy me some ice cream!!

I didn't read the title before I read the entry, honest, but I was so going to type "stream of consciousness??" in this... :)

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...
