Getting Updates

Image
By
Remember that if you would like to receive email updates of blog posts, all you need to do is send me an email at juliebleach@yahoo.com.  I will add you to my blog group and you'll start getting the posts emailed to you.  Just "following" my blog on the right hand side of the screen won't get you the updates.

Also, I apologize now for the lack of posting that will be going on this weekend.  Today, we have meetings and more nursing interviews.  Tomorrow is Caleb's birthday party, Sunday is Caleb's actual birthday, and Monday my supply company will be bringing our first delivery.  I'll be home for the better part of the weekend, in a land where there is no internet. 

*gasp*

Yes, I am remedying this as quickly as possible.  If we are never going to leave the house again, I need to have internet so that I can order the essentials...like grape soda and crab chips.

I have tons of pictures that need to be loaded, edited, and posted, but no time to do it.  I promise to take lots of pictures of Caleb's party and our supplies (I've heard it's boxes upon boxes of stuff!), but I can't promise that I will be posting more pictures in a timely manner.  There's a lot that is taking precedence right now....like, pretty much anything that is going to get my girl home!

Dear Ms Leach,
Have been trying to keep up with Abby's progress since she left UMMS. So happy for your family when I heard she will be going home. She is a fighter and there is no doubt where she gets those traits from...Good luck, our thoughts and prayers are with you :)

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
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

By
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

By
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
