Joy Buttons and the Ronald McDonald House


My sister and I have been hard at work making buttons for The Joy Runners to wear while they are participating in the 5K to benefit the Ronald McDonald House!  My sister is a much better designer than I am, so she did the design and I made them into buttons.  I think they turned out pretty cute!

If you have been planning to join The Joy Runners and haven't registered yet, you need to do it as soon as possible.  According to RMH's Facebook page, they are nearing the maximum number of participants and will be closing registration soon--possibly today.  

If you can't join our team but would like to make a donation, we would greatly appreciate it!!  All contributions go directly to helping families at the Ronald McDonald House in Baltimore, not to pay for corporate overhead costs!  The walk is less than a month away, and we want to be able to raise as much money for our favorite charity as possible.  The House means so much to us and we are doing this as a way to say thank you to a wonderful organization.  

As always, we will also take any and all soda tabs you have!  Just save them in a little plastic bag or container and send them our way.  If you're not local, consider taking yours to the closest RMH in your area.  In case you don't know, RMH uses the money from the soda tabs to fuel the shuttle that takes families to the nearby hospitals.  As one who used the shuttle a lot going to and from MWPH, I can tell you what an absolute blessing it is!  Saving soda tabs is so easy, but it makes a big difference for families!!

Thanks so much for supporting us as we strive to raise money and awareness for The Ronald McDonald House!

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...
