What am I up to?

Image
By


I'm in full party-planning mode for Caleb.  With Christmas coming and all of the commitments that go with it, I want to have everything done so that I don't have to stress myself out over the break.  

Guess what kind of party we're having?!

Star Wars.  The boy is obsessed with movies he has never seen.

I did the invitations all in one night.  My inspiration came from this on Etsy, but I made some changes and added more details.  The "sword" part isn't really pointed like the person did on Etsy, so I made it  more rounded.  I also hand-decorated the hilt so that each one is unique.

The hilt is actually the invitation.  When you open it up, it says, 
"Six ago in a galaxy far, far away, Caleb was born.  It is now time for him to fulfill his destiny and become a Jedi knight.  Join us for Jedi training and birthday fun."

The party itself will actually be Jedi training.  The kids will all be getting their very own pool-noodle-turned-light sabers, and they'll do a variety of exercises and sparring techniques with it.  



A real Jedi will be leading the training.  A real Jedi!

Caleb is SO excited.  I cannot even tell you how much he talks about this.  

For me...I'm not real into Star Wars, but this is a pretty easy party, as far as planning goes.  Matt's in charge of all of the training stuff, so I don't have to do anything!  Give 'em a light saber and let 'em have at it!  :)

Let's hope it doesn't get too chaotic....oy.

Oh, I love "Star Wars"!! Especially Han Solo. I guess I like a guy who was once a jerk, but changes his ways!! ;)

Super fun! When Ash was little, like 4 or 5, she went to a party where they did something similar, but it was more of a free for all. So much fun, and the best part? It'll be a party he will never,ever forget!

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...
