Medieval Times

Caleb had a fantastic time at Medieval Times.  His love for knights has been rekindled with a vengeance!



Caleb got a new wooden sword as an early birthday present from Nina and Paw Paw.  He picked it out himself and is in absolute heaven!  



He got to hold a real (very expensive!!) sword and was mesmerized!


They had suits of armor for sale--and they were marked down!  Since they were only $4,000 each now, we bought two. :)




We were sitting in the green knight's section, and he did really well!  He didn't win, but he was a good rider and fighter.


All of the knights lined up in front of the king.


At the beginning of the show, all of the servers go out and march across the stage.  Our server was the second one in the yellow and green.


Whenever a knight won a game, he got flowers to throw to kids in the audience.  Caleb caught one of them and was sooooooo excited!


Pretty horse :)



It was definitely a great night making memories with Caleb.  Abby stayed with my parents because otherwise, she would have had to sit on my lap...and it was way too close quarters for all of that!  We'll go back in a few years when she's old enough to appreciate it (and can eat the food!)  In the meantime, it was a special time with our oldest!

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

The Potty Man

Caleb LOVES to go potty! I have never heard a potty training story like this one....Caleb tells us when he needs to go, we take his diaper off, and he goes! Now, is it perfect? No, not at all! We aren't trying to potty train at at all, but we figure every time he goes is one less diaper we have to change! The only time we consistantly put him on the potty is when we give him a bath (he always pees in the tub, so we know he needs to go!) He almost always goes on the potty now instead of the tub though. When he's not "really" going potty, he's pretending to go potty! He's such a funny kid!

Lego Party: Favors

I'm a little slow in posting the Lego Party pictures, but I think I have a few excuses I could use.  At any rate, I wanted to share what I did for the party!  It will take a few posts, so stay with me.  I'll start with how I did the favors. These are the goody bags I made.  I just bought solid colored gift bags and matched scrapbook paper to each bag.  Then I punched circles and attached them with the 3D foam tape so that the circles were raised. I used the keychain (explained below) as a name tag on the outside. These are Duplo blocks.  I put a round magnet on the back and...voila!  A magnet!  (note:  hot glue doesn't work so well...I ended up reglueing them with my apoxy because the magnets fell off.) I made crayons using Lego man crayons.  Yes, I know this guy has lost half of his leg.  The others were already packaged and I didn't want to open one up just to get a picture.  I used a Lego mold  to make the crayons.  Caleb put small pieces of crayon in each m
