Just Another Friday Night

We headed out to the Farmer's Market, which I have mentioned before.  (You SO need to go!)  Abby stayed in her carrier with the winter fleece cover on to keep out the wind.  She was also wearing a sweater over a longsleeved shirt, so she was plenty warm enough!

When it got a little too windy, we flipped the cover over her.  For the most part, it was nice out though.
The waves have been really choppy the last few times we've been there.

But Caleb loved to run up and down the boardwalk and watch the waves crash against the rocks!



Owen, Sara, and Caleb enjoyed feeding the ducks...as long as they didn't have to get too close to them! 
 

It was a fun Friday night.  Here's to many more between now and October!!

Didn't you see the signs that say Not to feed the ducks and seagulls? Me neither 'til we got yelled at by a boardwalk attendant. I have been walking the BW 3 or 4 times a week since the weather's been nice. Wish it was closer or gas prices would go down. It's a really nice walk this time of year. Let me know next time...maybe I can meet you there!

Even though we live in Alexandria, North Beach's Farmers Market is my absolute favorite. We went all the time last summer. (In fact I think we saw you there.) It's funny that you posted this because I was just thinking about how I wanted to go next Friday!

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
