RMH Photos

I have a few photos to share from two recent RMH events.  The first is when the youth group made 20 no-sew blankets for The Welcome Project to give to kids at RMH when they check in.  It is an awesome organization for the youth group to join up with, and they seemed to have a great time doing it!

Everybody is busy at work!


We did all "boy" blankets, since the staff said they often run out of the kind of blankets older boys might like and end up giving them girly patterns.


We even had a mom stay to help!  (She's also Caleb's Mom's Morning Out teacher, and he adores her!!)


This beautiful girl took all of the squares we cut out to make the corners of the blankets, and made two awesome pillows with them!  She attached a photo pocket in the front and put youth group photos in them, so now they are one-of-a-kind decorations for the youth room.  So creative!!

I was much more diligent at taking pictures at the blanket-making event.  I didn't even bring my camera to RMH when we made dinner because I was afraid something might happen to it.  These pictures are from my sister, and she (as were the rest of us!) was too busy to take many pictures.  But, at least you can get a glimpse of what we did!


We made a Mexican meal for dinner, so of course there were tacos!

We had a few young helpers come along, and they were SO good!  They really pitched in and did whatever needed to be done.

Afterwards, there were lots of dishes to wash, dry, and put away!

We had lots of cookies for dessert, and popcorn for a snack during the craft.

This is one of the awesome families (holding the baby of one of my friends!) from Kuwait.  They are going to be here for a year and have been to RMH a lot since their daughter was born.  They have the same surgeon as Abby.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures!  I know this was a lengthy post, but I have been meaning to post pictures and keep forgetting.

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...
