Williamsburg: Our Condo

Image
By
Let the Williamsburg posts begin!  

We rented a timeshare from a friend of my mom's, who was wonderful about communicating with us and getting us the information we needed.  He even called during the week to make sure everything was okay! 

We've been to timeshares before (Matt has stayed in quite a few) and we both felt like this one was the nicest we have been in.  

This is Caleb's room--he had a queen-sized bed!  He LOVED that he had his own TV, which was never turned on, and promptly dubbed his room The Man Cave.  Abby was allowed occasional visits.


Caleb and Abby's bathroom


Our bathroom (Have I ever mentioned that I really hate using shower stalls in hotels?  I just get the feeling that they don't get truly scrubbed too often, and it totally grosses me out when any part of my body touches the wall.  Believe me, I try really hard not to let that happen.  *Shudder*)



Our bedroom.  We had a California King-Sized bed...HUGE!!!  It was uncomfortably big.  Matt and I joked about being on separate continents.  We could put both Abby and Caleb between us and still none of us touched.  


Abby's "nook" in our bedroom.  She did great just sleeping on the floor!



Our view from the deck.  We could watch mini golf and could also see kids splashing in the pool, although you can't see it in this picture.  



The dining room was quite fancy!  


Ugh...ignore all of the mess.  I really need to learn to take pictures of our rentals before we move in!  The kitchen was tiny, but it had everything we needed.  It's definitely a one-man kitchen though, and Matt and I would bump into each other if we were both in there.  


A washer and dryer are absolute necessities when I look for a rental.  I did 6 loads of laundry over the week, and didn't regret a second of it!  I LOVE coming home and not having to climb a mountain of laundry!!  Plus, we pack a lot less because we plan on washing clothes.  It's a beautiful thing.


The living room (the big couch is a pull-out, although we never used it).  The pillows all lined up are Caleb's doing.  He has a thing with the pillows all being flat and in a neat row. 


So that's the grand tour!  It was really a very nice place.

Cerebrocostomandibular Syndrome

By
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!!

By
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

By
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...
