Little Mozart has discovered the piano!


This girl LOVES music.  She dances and claps to any kind of music, and really enjoys the piano.  Her favorite song is "Little Red Wagon" by Raffi.  She starts bumping up and down as soon as you start singing it!

One of my favorite songs is by Karen Carpenter. It is "Sing a Song". When my grandaughter was born I used to sing it to her when putting her to sleep. As she got older, I would sing it during our special times playing together. Now that she is 7 years old, she sings it with me. It will always have special memories for both of us. Tric Gillette

"I will Praise Him Still" is by Fernando Ortega. I love this song because it says that no matter what comes my way, I will praise him still. This song has helped me a lot as I have come upon many challenges, but have remembered this song and how I need to praise him still because it is in his control!

Revelation Song is one of my favorite worship songs because of what the lyrics hold. Such power, and reminders of how Holy our God is! These lyrics say it best "with all creation I sing, praise to the King of Kings, you are MY everything, and I WILL adore you." how powerful is that?!

Cora--great choices! Those are both good songs!

Tric--I love that song! I even won a talent show once singing it. I think I was 8 or 9 and I did a song and dance. :)

Oh, I remember that talent show, LOL. :)
I have lots of favorites, depending on the day, but one is the version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole', the guy from Hawaii. I love how he mixes Somewhere Over the Rainbow with What a Wonderful World. The latter is what Dad and I danced to at our wedding :)

Another favorite...
Garth Brooks' "The River"
It is a great song I discovered in college. I love the lyrics and they are good words to live by :)

There are so many good songs....here are a few more...
Garth Brooks--To Make You Feel My Love...a beautiful love song that Bruce introduced me to :) Also, Unanswered Prayers, again by Garth Brooks....the lyrics are really good and this is another one that Bruce first told me about. Of course, I need to mention Our God, because that song has such meaning for our family now. Thank you, Abs for giving it such a special meaning. :) I have lots more.....but this is my last post. :)

My all time favorite songs since I was 3 years old when I declared to my mom in the car "This is my favorite son" is She's in Love with the Boy by Trisha Yearwood -- it's country sorry Matt I know you don't like that but its been the best for 20 years!

One more ... When God Made You by Newsong and Natalie Grant ... I think this is the song that will be very important in a few months.

haha! That video was awesome! It made me laugh how Abby shakes her hand to say "hi" and "bye" what a funny girl! One of my favorite songs is "Beautiful Heartbreak" by Hilary Weeks. It is such a reminder to me of how everyone has something that has broken their hearts to pieces, but you don't know it by looking at them. If, like in the music video, everyone wore a sign that said what their heartache is, maybe we would all be a little kinder to those we encounter. But we don't wear signs, so be nice anyways!

Mindy Gledhill's song "Hourglass" is another favorite. It makes me think of my kids, and the precious time I have with them. Beautiful song.

And, probably my most favorite song is the Smurfs "Your A Pink Toothbrush" because, it's just pure awesomeness. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHV2z_d2Oyw

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

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 most of the words to the songs, so
