Easter

Image
By
Easter this year was wonderful!  Caleb's big gift was tickets to the Monster Truck rally in Baltimore (he watches it every morning!), but he also received a few little things.  Abby got a learning cow that does all kinds of things and a cool ball that flashes.  They got their first joint present of a butterfly garden, and Caleb is incredibly excited about this!  (We're still working on teaching Abby about metamorphosis, but she's getting there.)  He's been asking every day if the larvae have arrived in the mail, so hopefully they'll get here soon!  I have sooo many great memories of raising butterflies every year growing up.  I can't wait to get some good pictures!

We adjusted our nursing hours so that we would have the afternoon and evening to celebrate on our own, so we headed up to my parents' house around 2:30.  After a lively Easter egg hunt that included lots of running, squealing, and crying (and that was just Bruce!)  :), the kids headed back inside to dump out their eggs and examine their loot. 

We enjoyed a yummy breakfast-for-dinner meal, but the best part was just having a good sense of normalcy!

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 ...

Bath Time Photos!!

By
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

By
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...
