Camping With Lock & Lock

My mom is a Lock & Lock junkie. If you think I'm bad, just scroll down a bit! When we visited them while they were camping, I took some pictures of the seriousness of her L&L habit. :)

This is the fridge in the camper. She can fit a whole lot in that thing!!

Sticks of butter

In the bathroom closet

This is the pantry. She really especially loves the bread box because it keeps the bread fresh for much longer than just keeping it in the usual bag.

Notice the labels? I wonder where I get it from...

The cleaning closet.

She even puts the chips in one because they don't go stale!

Have you ever seen such organized sugar packets?? Yeah, me neither. This reminds me a little of Sean Penn in that movie...what was it called? The one where he's obsessed with the Beatles and names his daughter Lucy.

A whole lot of fruit fits in a seemingly small container!

The freezer. She likes the small water bottles because they fit well in here. She fills them halfway, freezes them, and then fills them with water so that they will have ice water all day. They're a good size for kids too. Caleb loves his!

You can fit two whole sticks of butter in one of these small containers! Not bad!

So there you have it...confessions of a Lock & Lock junkie! :) If you know my mom, you know that she's all in when she loves a product...and you also know that she doesn't "love" something if it isn't really awesome! I'm telling you: if you haven't tried them out yet, you really need to. They have fabulous deals ("Like" them on Facebook to get the daily Happy Hour deals--those are the best!!) and the product is top notch!

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...
